There was a low part of land in their back yard that always filled with water whenever it rained. After she saw ducks swimming there a few times, she had her husband build a big wooden nesting box for them. Sure enough, the ducks took to it and started a family. The photos she sent of the tiny babies right after they were hatched (and as they grew) were just about the cutest things I've ever seen. And I'm one that goes gaga over puppies and kittens. And watching the babies obedinetly follow mommy in a straight line to the water makes me think that humans could learn a lessor or two when it comes to raising kids. ;> My best friend moved to the ‘way out outer suburbs a while ago.

I've got some in the same design. They hold almost a litre, so the ducklings aren't quite as small as you might think. Still mighty cute, though. It’s probably a soup mug.
