I remeber a news story sometime within the last year (or 18 months) of a policeman directing traffic who was distracted by a duck who kept nipping at him and tried to get his attention. Finally he followed the duck over to a sewer/grate to see ducklings stuck...I am trying to use this for a class I am teaching on behavior and CAN NOT remember where I read the story...salon or CNN..I can't see m to find it.. |

Hello boudicca Nice story! And here it is: "Hey! (Quack) Over here! (Quack)" http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/2001/07/13/duck010713 There's a bit more detail in this report: http://www.earthfuture.com/econews/back_issues/01-09.asp The search which led me to the CBC story was: ://www.google.co.uk/search?q=policeman+duck+ducklings+2001+OR+vancouver+-%22mrs+mallard%22&btnG=Google+Search&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I arrived at this story in a roundabout way. First I found this reference in google groups to a similar incident in 1997: http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=policeman+duck+ducklings+rescue+OR+rescued&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=3371E90E.4998%40worldnet.att.net&rnum=2 Then searching for that 1997 story led me to the 2001 incident in Vancouver: ://www.google.co.uk/search?q=policeman+duck+ducklings+1997&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=10&sa=N Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask for clarification if you have a query. Good luck with the class - Leli |
