Fascinating. Now when my daughter asks me what I was reading on the net, I can explain in detail about homosexual necrophiliac ducks. There isn't a suitable smilee for that! jkennyd said:
I think dead ducks are like missing socks. Nobody really knows where they go. I dont think socks like the rain though. I'm assuming this as fact as my wife always brings them in before they get wet so leading me to the conclusion that this fact.
baby pigeons is the often quoted example of things you never see....

So if ducks are like socks and we have clear proof here that they are because they go missing, then, as socks don't like the rain, then neither do ducks.Boozy said:

Ducks aren't too bothered about the weather. The rain falls off their outer feathers like water off a..... Oh.
Not true. Ours will stand out of the rain if they can, believe it or not. Our geese were the same.Funnily enough, the goldfish doesn't seem to mind.
So I would say they don't like rain and definately don't like snow.Davi said:
Humans are pretty waterproof, not many like being in the rain. Think rain is likely to be pretty miserable no matter what species you are (unless you're a species that only comes out in the rain I suppose)
Surely being out in the rain is only uncomfortable because you're wearing clothes and they get wet and stick to your skin.I bet if we didn't wear clothes being out in the rain would be quite enjoyable.

Oh Yes you do!I was staying at a hotel in town and opened the window and there was a nesting pidgeon with her chicks..... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!
The reason you don't see "baby" pidgeons is because they don't leave the nest until they already look adult. Those ones you see walking about pecking each other are the parents trying to get rid of their young!
And no ducks don't like rain when I lived on the Thames they were often to be found sheltering under my pier.
