Hubby went to the car before I did because he had a phone call to make. When I came out front, this is what I saw. I watched him stroll slowly from the corner for awhile before I decided to get out the camera.
He's getting closer now, just waddling along.
Making eye contact, I'm getting nervous.
As I run and jump in the car, two men who had been watching this unfold, said, "Be careful, that duck attacked me the other day". So when I fall into the car, laughing like crazy, Hub finally looks up and asked what was so funny. About that time a few folks were gathering to come into the restaurant, but ducky was blocking the door by then. Two employees came out the side door, one holding a plate of food. She gently "led" the duck back down the sidewalk and around the corner. I guess this is an almost daily ritual at this place. One of the other bystanders said this is a Muscovy duck and a few of them live behind the restaurant.
We went on about our way, and laughed about the duck the rest of the day. We walked a lot through the Domain, so might have burned off half of the calories we consumed. One can only hope.
OMG!! How cute a story is this?
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is my favorite meal to eat out but everything I like is loaded with calories.
ReplyDeleteApparently that duck knows a good thing when he finds it! He probably eats very tasty meals behind the restaurant!
I love resident animals at places like that, but a restaurant, Ha, what a good one.
ReplyDeleteIf a duck or goose ever tries to attach you, stand your ground and raise your arms into the air level with your shoulders. This mimics the wings of a very large bird and your threatening stance will ward them off, I learned this from someone who had geese and it has come in handy several times at campgrounds and such.
