The bond between us.

This is Little Ming. He has a host of nicknames, including Ming-Shming, Irkel Duck and Max Schrek because he's the socially awkward member of the flock, always picking on the others due to his ineptitude when it comes to social rules.

Louise (and Augie) come running to greet me. Louise likes to poke me and chatter A LOT while Augie tugs on my shirt behind my back.

Yuri and Louise. Louise likes to rest her chin on the sofa while her human creates jewelry or sews.

Louise and Augie have become best friends. It's no wonder since they have the same bond with a human mother.

The Lucy Goose loves her human, especially hair!

Konrad Lorenz, the father of imprinting and study of waterfowl behavior.

Augie March when he was a duckling. He's now almost four years old. Augie was imprinted, raised by a human parent who never left his side for over a month. It is not recommended that people raise a single duckling unless they are prepared to spend every waking hour with the little fellow.

Disclaimer: A single duckling should NOT be raised by MOST people. Louise was NEVER left alone during the first six weeks of her life. She slept next to her human mother and required CONSTANT attention. Ducks are social beings, just like human babies. Do not attempt this unless you are willing to commit to a monk-like stint where you do nothing but focus on raising the duckling.

A custom order feather bouquet. The Lucy Goose doesn't make many of these due to the fact that we have a limited supply of feathers and it takes a of feathers to make just one. Find us on Etsy at The Lucy Goose.
