My Big Blonde

Wild Ducks cannot be tamed
Or so they say.
I tamed this one though
After many a day.

He was my friend
Trusted and true.
But just the same
I lost him too!

Such a special drake
He never gave a jot.
His cheeky but friendly ways
Worth such a lot.

His funny whistle
Gave much pleasure to all.
His upright body
Sleek and tall.

Now he's gone
No more whistles for bread.
Whistling in heaven
Now instead.

Big Blonde Whistling duck
That was his name.
Life without him
Just won't be the same.

I have two big passions in my life, my two beautiful labrador dogs
Poppy and Bobby and my collection of wonderful Water Fowl.
The Big Blonde Fulvous Whistling duck was such a character.
He was also the only one I have so far managed to tame.
He would run towards me whistling if I appeared
with a wet slice of bread.
The song playing is one that makes me think of him
everytime I hear it.
This song was very popular a few years ago and I loved it.
I played it over and over again during the summer months whilst
I spent my time in the garden with my dogs and ducks.
I sometimes felt the Big Blonde was whistling
along with the tune.

Kaye now has two beautiful whistler ducks in her group and
the drake I have claimed and named him Jake.
I love to watch him as he struts around and tells everyone
he is "big boss". I even now have a wooden replica
of Jake sitting on my desk. This was a much appreciated
Christmas gift from Kaye's husband Roy.
I also named the female Judy.
On the top picture to the right of the pond you will
see my very own precious "Betty's Duckling"
a present to me from Kaye
