(17,383 posts)i saw this in my recomendations days ago and to me this is what youtube is about. utube like the rest of the web has turned into a cesspool of ads . youtube has ads every 5 seconds on the player, you now have to click a button away to get rid of more ads , then the vidiographers insert ads in their own vids or have a promo on the description box, witch that isnt for . and the patrions gha . when i first joined youtube in 2009 ( via various accounts that were hacked ,) it really was a hoot. then google went and bought it and now its a pile of shaaaaving cream. duck got rythem.

Last Sunday, I paid a wopping fee for a service to come to our community pond to safely "capture" and transport the oldest feral domestic duck on our community pond to a wildlife center so their vet could take a look at his injuries and, possibly, fix and refer him for rehab and healing before bringing him back to his girlfriend, Molly.
Aflac, (what else would he be named), is pushing at least 12 years old. He injured his leg and possibly a wing (domestic ducks can't get lift to fly) somehow and could bear no weight; he swam lopsided, and in the 90 plus degree heat he pushed himself up onto the sunny bank for hours beneath the hot sun. He could/would not stand to eat or drink, but his eyes were still clear as he gallantly tried to get up as we approached. Was he hit by a car? Fought with a Canadian goose? Fought over his girlfriend? Just stumbled and lost his balance? Attacked by a predator but fought it off? Pulled out of discarded fishing nylon line? I just don't know, but I am sick with worry. We have raised Aflac's children and perhaps a few grandchildren. Where there was only Aflac, then a few more discarded from care at our pond, and caring for his babies until they could fend on their own, we now have only 8 instead of 9. You see domestic ducks bred for meat or eggs are not good parents. Humans usually provide most of their protection, and male ducks have very short lives because they end up on plates. I've been trying to contact the hospital to find out about his diagnosis, prognosis, or humane euthanasia, but they are very busy and I can't reach a human. Perhaps they just don't want to say he'll not be returning...I'll try to contact the wildlife center personnel again tomorrow for word.
Maybe, just maybe, the doc took him home and this is part of his rehabilitation? GO, AFLAC! Get both those strong legs back again!
Think I'll re-play that positive thought and watch again - Thanks, underpants!
UPDATE: i learned on Friday that Aflac was humanely euthanized soon after arrival at the hospital due to severe unfixable injuries. The Wildlife Center has been very busy, offering care for over 6,000 of our wild critters this summer and without the assistance of many volunteers due to CoVid-19. I am so grateful that they took just a moment to tell me. RIP Aflac!
