Meet Gunter, my pet duck(with photos)!

Post Reply New Topic

This is Gunter:

Gunter is a Rouen Duck, a medium sized domestic duck. I got him from the agricultural fair last summer.



He is about six months old, and is a cuddly little monster.



He is too fat to support himself in the air. He is figuratively too fat to fly.



I am trying to include a sampling of photos of him as he grew up, but SOMEONE foolishly deleted a bunch of files I think they are gone for good.



As the above photo shows, Gunter is also good at making messes.



Gunter is a house duck, and he sleeps in my bedroom.



My dad died very suddenly last year, and I have been in a pretty dark place since then.



Gunter helps me to feel a little better about life.



When I saw his little face at the fair, I just knew he was going to be my little buddy.



How could I resist?





When he was a baby, I would put him in "Birdy Jail" when he was bad or I needed a break.



Soon he learned how to break out, and by 2 weeks old, he was too clever to be locked up in Birdy Jail.



I brought him home when he was 9 days old.







That's all the photos I can find at the moment. I'm trying some file recovery stuff currently. Hopefully I can recover more photos and videos.

Gunter is cool.

Gunter's very cute. Must be fun to have him around. Sorry about your father.

Those are cute pics of Gunther! Thanks for sharing!

I like ducks, they can be plucky little birds and quite fast in the air. Gunther is very cute, thanks for sharing the photos.

Makes me Quack up!

At least he's not a Scandinavian duck; they go "Kvack!"

I'm glad you're enjoying him.

Good news- I recovered the files! I will post more photos later this means.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! !!

You're so lucky! Gunter is adorable. Ducks are amazing. It's my dream to be able to have a house duck or goose. I scour YouTube for people's pet and rescue house bird videos.

Give Gunter a duckie cuddle from me.

I love the picture where he's lounging on you, hanging his little leg over your arm!

Gunter is so adorable, both as a duckling and an adult! I haven't been having the greatest day today, so some cute animal pictures were just what I needed.

I wish I could upload some pictures of my own pets on WP but I haven't been able to for some reason.

P.S. Sorry about your dad.

Yes, my condolences about your dad; that's a very sad loss. Animals and their unconditional love can help us a lot. This little guy brings a lot of light into your life, I'll bet.

Some photos I took of him today:

I see Gunter does a bit of gaming before a nap!

He's so cute. Thanks for sharing!

This was awesome, thanks for sharing this with us reminds ,me of a wild one at work who took a liking to me. That one was a girl and would have me walk her to the pond with the babies.

I like that second photo, he looks like he is going to go sliding through the snow like a penguin.

I see Gunter likes video games, whatever you do don't let him play Duck Hunt for the NES. It will probably scar him for life.
