This lonely hearts ad looks like a joke, but it is a real story about a real duck. Chris Morris of Blue Hill, Maine, had three ducks, but two of them were taken by a bobcat. Yellow Duck fell into a funk, mourning the loss of Brown Duck and Gray Duck, one of which was her mate. She stopped hanging around the chickens and quacked at unusual times.
So the 31-year-old special education teacher crafted a singles ad for her and hung it on the community bulletin board at the Blue Hill Co-op.
“Duck seeking duck,” Morris wrote. “Lonesome runner duck seeks companion. Partner recently deceased. Serious replies only.”
“We wanted to post about this to try to find a duck, and that just seemed like the best fit,” Morris said.
The ad worked! Yellow Duck will have her pick of new mates. Read the details of the story at the Bangor Daily News. -via Boing Boing
