Ducks

What would you do if you saw a duck pacing back and forth and quacking nervously? (We'd probably be really confused -- what's a duck doing in our living room??) Fortunately, the police and animal control officers in the video above were able to make sense out of the situation, and rescue all of the duck's ducklings, which were trapped in a sewer.

Here's a little something to brighten your day. A flock of ducks was rescued from a bird hoarder who had never taken them to water. This is video footage of their first collective swim. But first, a wacky bit of duck herding, which is always good for a laugh...

Hold onto your butts -- we hear that's the best place to hold onto if you're worried an internet video is making you have a panic attack. This video of a family of ducks trying to cross a busy highway is not for the faint of heart. Even with the caveat that this is a nerve-wracking bit of drama, even if you hate ducks, you'll probably find yourself freaking out at least a little bit.

We all hate getting bills to the point where some of us will even hide them in the freezer to put them completely out of sight and therefore out of mind. Volunteer mailman Steve Score of Minnesota's Emmanuel Nursing Home has the unfortunate job of delivering such mail, but it looks like he's found the most effective way of passing along these letters and all it took were some adorable little duckl

Traffic jams always give us headaches. At least if this massive flock of waddling and quacking ducks was the cause, we'd have something to amuse us until the gridlock cleared up.

Ducks don't get as much attention for being adorable as cats or dogs, but when videos like this come along, you can't help but wonder why. Here's a young duckling who follows YouTube user matizhan around in a park. Obviously he found it cute, which is why he captured the moment on video for us to go "awwww."

Mama animals, it seems, will do anything to protect their babies. In Oklahoma, a mother duck risked her own life and walked into oncoming traffic after her ducklings fell into a storm grate.

Duckling are, as we all know, completely adorable. But they're also, well, babies, and they're not exactly able to fly yet. Which, when you take refuge in someone's heated pool on a rainy day, can be a bit of a problem. A cute problem, but a problem.

This white shepherd is trying to enjoy his kibbles 'n bits when he sees a duck approach. The pooch must've been well-acquainted with the duck's food-stealing ways because he immediately puts his feed bowl in his mouth and moves it away from the aggressive bird.

The White House grounds may be highly restricted, but as the world learned recently, ducks get a free pass. On Wednesday, White House security guards helped eight ducklings reunite with a mother duck who had squeezed through a security fence and made it onto the White House lawn.
