Well, he's probably wetting the bread to make it easier to eat himself. But it's still cute!

WOW. I was scared the duckie was going to be lunch for those big fish.

That duckie better be careful. Those fish are way bigger than he is and what if they decide they want a little quacky snack?

baby duckie: "Mom! Mom! Mom! Did you see me feedin' the fishies? Did you see? Did you? Did you?"

Mama: "Yes, I did. Good job. You remembered to share your snacks with the neighborhood kids today."

I think this was all a self-defense strategy; Koi who are full of bread crumbs are less likely to swallow baby duckies for lunch!

Hee hee I thought lil ducklette got swallowed by the fish at the end....big sigh of relief

We had a rescue ducky who only had one leg as a pike bit one off when she was a duckling. But she went on to become a mother herself and lived to a ripe old age. One of her siblings was attacked too, but the leg was set and he got the use of it back, though he always limped a little.

I doubt carp are so nasty though.

Whut the duck!??

Theo
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 07:13 AM

I've heard of songbirds doing this because the gaping mouth of the fish looks like the gaping mouth of a baby bird... but ducks don't need to feed their babies like that, and this is a kid doing the feeding anyway, so... I agree with Theo: What the duck!??

One for you and one for me.
One for you and one for me.
One for you and one for me.

Ducklette's going to grow big at that rate.

Aw that's adorable! :)

i like it when he's swimming away, "my work is done here."

jen
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 07:33 AM

Theo, That's funny. Great play on words.
This duck thinks he's a fishy.

luvinmalssomuch
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 07:48 AM

That is too funny! I also like the fact that the fish are bigger than the duck!

Angela P.
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 08:06 AM

THAT is hilarious!

Feed a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a duck to feed the fish, and, oh wow, what was I saying?

Theresa
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 08:09 AM

Can he come to my house and take over feeding my cats? I don't think they'd hurt him, they don't even know what to do when they catch a moth.

... WTD?!

I now have three favs.. the smooshed-face manatee, the holdy-hands otters, and this.. the aquatic philanthropist.
You go ducky! Feed thems fishes.

Ha-dorable! Anybody know if this is in Balboa Park/San Diego, by chance?

I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open-ohmygoddd, the ducky feeds the fishys! How amazingly adorable!!

Gotta get out to the yard, and back to digging my own fishy pond. I now want a lil' ducky and some biiiig-@ss koi!

I agree, baybeh duckie is stuffing those fishies nice and full so he can swim unmolested.

oh my gawd!!! how stinking cute is that?

it's like he's practicing to work at Sea World with the Shamus!

 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 09:39 AM

Aww! I wish my parent's koi pond had duckies too. The duckling probably was just trying to get the bread crumbs wet for himself, but the fish didn't mind helping themselves! Duckies can live where ever they want! I love them!

Kit
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 10:15 AM

hahah! at first i thought the rock the ducky is on was actually the ducky, so he was a massive duck with a little head. i was wondering why you called him junior ducky until he got off and swam :]

leesha
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 10:21 AM

AlliG - I think that should be philichthyist.

DreamSpinner - for the big koi, you need a really deep pond.

This is the most amazing thing I've EVER SEEN.

End of story.

Awwww.... kyoot! I've seen it before but it's still cute. I too was worried about the little duckling.

There were ponds all over this very nicely landscaped mobile home park where my parents lived. I took my then toddler son over to one of the ponds to feed the duckies dry bread. And...well....what all of you were worrying about might happen to the little ducky? The ponds had HUGE catfish in them. :-( I haven't gone to feed duckies ever since.

Sorry...don't mean to harsh the cute...really. I LOVE this place!

little ducky = very cute
swarm of huge koi fish = very NOT cute. I don't know what it is, but those fish freeeak me out!

As someone who has raised koi the worst they can do is gum you. (A very odd sensation, but not at all dangerous.) Koi are filter feeders and muck-eaters. They cannot eat or digest a duckling, so set your minds at ease, everyone, the little one is quite safe.

Also, like most birds, ducks lack "Mouth Moisture" and will soften food like bread or duck feed in water. I assume that's what this little guy is doing, and the fish are taking advantage of his sloppiness. That being said, this video is too cute to take in large doses! ^_^

Okay, I think "What the duck?"/WTD belongs in the official Cute Overload! vocabulary.

Lenore -- I think it's more an issue of Flash being blocked (or not installed) on folks' work PCs. Hard to get around that unless you can find, I dunno, a Quicktime version? Embedded WMP? A more permissive firewall and/or workstation policy?

Theo
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 02:24 PM

The duck isn't really feeding the fish. He's just getting a little water in his mouth between swallows so that the crumbs go down easier. All ducks do that -- go out to your local lake and watch sometime.

I vote for a new category:
