        A simpler solution is to just eat the ducks that get caught in the nets. That way at least we are not killing needlessly and ducks are tasty.

        Common knowledge supports the fact that when ducks try to fly upside down, they quack up.

        Duck hearing specialists are divided as to whether this relates to anything significant at all. I have a black dog named Ducky. She is deaf in one ear. Coincidence? I think not. Aloha very much.
