Emberella

Yesterday, when I checked my regular search for ducks for sale in the area I found an advert from a vicar who had three 10 month old muscovy girls for sale.

I drove over this morning, and came home with Emberella, who has more black on her than Erzulie:



Erzulie ran over as soon as she jumped out of the box, so I think she's pleased. Ella is a bit bewildered, if only by the sudden absence of an enormous flock of assorted ducks, geese, chickens and guinea fowl, but I'm sure that she'll settle in soon.

(Zu Zu laid today's egg in the approved, fake-egg-containing nest. Fingers crossed.)

We have visitors this weekend, and Bob is being a complete tart. He's currently curled up on the dog sofa next to one of the guests!

Glad Zu Zu has a new friend. It was very restrained of you to only come home with one.

Especially when the chap said "Oh, yes, you're here for a pair of ducks," and I said, "I'm pretty sure not... um, ok..."

But then he caught the two ducks and I said "Those aren't muscovy" and he said "Oh, sorry, wrong buyer!"

Could've been worse. A friend worked for an animal trainer, who sold off the extra duck. Alas, it was the wrong duck, leading to the phone conversation that ended with my friend saying, "I've got to go teach a duck to play the piano."
