Ducks are good pets, and Quackers was the best of the best, IMO. She was sweet and loving. I am still crying a bit.

You will always love her. I'm advising you to get a replacement when you feel the slightest inclination.

 Quoting: pool


There is no replacing her, but I can't anyway. After I rescued her, my city passed an ordinance banning all fowl and a lot of varieties of pet birds, including pigeons and doves.Quackers was grandfathered in because I had her before the ordinance was in effect. If I get another duck, it is a $2,500 a DAY fine.
So, I have to be content with my cats, and my old dog Sheba, who, BTW, celebrated her 14th birthday today with cake and steak ! It was a bittersweet birthday without Quackers here to help eat the cake and steak.:(

Here is a pic of Quackers from last night. You can see on her right side, that the wing is deformed and sticks up. That is what the predator that killed her mother duck 14 years ago, did to her.

On a lighter note OP you could get another duck and tell them(city officials) it's Quackers, the duck who lived forever...this could go on and on and on...

Again sorry for your loss Tiger, when my dog Bear died I could still hear his paw patter in the kitchen, he used to come prancing in when he smelled food cooking... I remember just walking around for days in the house saying to myself I can't believe he's gone...heartbreaking.

Re: My Pet Duck Died This Morning. Quackers 7-1-2003 to 5-19-2017
My duck, Quackers, died this morning, just short of her 14th birthday. She was the only licensed duck in the city of Hammond,Indiana, having been grandfathered in when the ordinance against owning fowl was implemented years ago. She is also in the history books for being a write-in candidate during the last mayoral election.

Quackers was a Mallard duck, rescued by me when she was 3 days old, on July 4th 2003. My husband and I were fishing at Wolf Lake Channel, when I heard a baby duck screaming about a couple of hundred feet from where I was fishing. I dropped my pole and ran over to where the sound was coming from. There was this 3 day old duckling, screaming, next to the body of her dead mother, who had been killed by a predator. There were no other ducklings around, and I assume the predator that killed the mother probably killed and ate them. I scooped her up, put our gear away, and took Quackers home. I had 2 different Vets look at her injured wing, but there was nothing they could do, and she would never be able to fly. I assume the predator had damaged her wing.

So, she became a house duck, since she would never be able to be released back into the wild. She was my youngest daughters constant companion, and my "Baby Ducky".
She had her own little pond we installed in the yard for her. She had partial run of the house, too. She followed me around like a puppy dog. She was sweet, and very affectionate. She loved to be held on my lap, and be petted like you would a cat or a dog. When she was running around, whether it was in the house, or my yard, I just had to look at her and say "are you mommy's baby ducky?", and she would lay flat on the ground, cheep like a duckling, and want me to hold her and pet her. She also gave hugs, where she would drape her neck over my neck. Last night, when she was starting to go down, she gave me 2 hugs.

I was getting ready early this morning to take her to the Vet, to see if there was anything they could do for her, but she passed away while I was getting ready to go. Yeah, I am crying my eyes out right now, and have been since last night. Quackers was given much love, and she gave total love in return. She is so missed.

There is now a pic of Quackers on page 7. It was taken last night, when she was starting to go down.
 Quoting: tiger1

Heart warming story...thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss, it's funny how we get attached to these little critters. I'm the same way.

They show you loyalty and love without any strings attached. You did a great thing showing this little duck compassion in the beginning and taking care of him. I'm sure she lived a great life and was thankful for it to you.

I am so sad at your loss but so thrilled with the love you two shared.

Thank you, my friend !

Tiger, you want to hear something freaky, as in "it's a small world" freaky?

I can't believe I forgot to mention this the other day but as a kid, we lived in Hammond for a short time. Also lived in Gary but that's another story.

We had a favorite Pizza place that is still there today and I will never forget, The Hammond House of Pizza. My brother and I were hooked on that stuff, if you ever go there have a slice for me please!
