Ducks in Trees

 
Christmas is a holiday the ducks love. Nothing is more exciting that decorating the trees before the big snow. The ducklings get excited to make their home the prettiest in the forest. Some ducks use lights and beautiful garlands while others like to be more old-fashioned and use strings of cranberries and puffcorn. However in recent years, it is hard to keep cranberry and puffcorn garlands to last…… which was better than forgetting to remove the edible garlands leading to rot and a horrible smell which attracts rogue ducks.

Decorating is exciting for the ducks especially when inclimate weather arises. The more storms that brew and pass through the forest around Christmas increases the amount of times a tree can be decorated. If they are unsatisfied with one decoration scheme, a storm may sweep through take out the forest and the search begins for a new tree to live. Once found, the decorating process begins again.

Christmas feasts also excite ducks and their ducklings to no end. Food that is enjoyed once a year really excites the ducks. From the Christmas cookies and candies, to Hors D’oeuvres and the Christmas ham the ducks just go wild. Another favorite activity at Christmas time for the ducks is the Christmas movie specials. Favorites include “Frosty the Snow Duck,” Rudolph the Red Nose Wild Duck,” and even “Merry Christmas Charlie Ducksworth.” Ducks also like to sing Christmas carols such as “Up on the Tree Top” and ”Grandma Got Run Over By A Wild Duck.”

Finally ducks love snow. Making snowducks and duck angels along with snowball fights are a past time for ducklings. When part of a forest is cleared, the ducks even have a chance to go sledding. Dangerous in the forest, but the logging industry has increased areas for sledding. And when it is all said and done, the ducks collapse in sheer exhaustion from all the Christmas fun. It can take days for the ducks to recover from all the festivities and return to their normal activities. The leaves the forest quite, safe and able to prosper….

Currently the ducks are frantically finishing their tree decorating…. A blizzard warning is in effect and moving quickly towards the forest……
