Hello Tweeters:

I had replied to Lydia directly thinking that there wouldn't be a great deal
of interest in this topic, but guess I was wrong. Anyway, within the past
year, about 6 months ago I believe, there was a short clip on one of the
"home video" programs about a duck that fed goldfish. The clip lasted
perhaps 60 seconds and was of a small duck (what kind I don't know, it was
very dark in color, and perhaps a little smaller than a mallard) feeding a
goldfish - which was almost as large as the duck! The goldfish was in what
was apparently a private pond and someone had set out a food source in a
small bowl. The duck was very engrossed in it's task of feeding the fish.
The distance between the food source and the fish was perhaps 2 or 3 feet,
and when the duck had emptied one bill full of food (don't know what it was),
it would rush back to the bowl and get another scoop and then rush to the
fish. The fish would stay in the same place with it's mouth open while the
duck went for more food.

Don't know if anyone else on the list caught that bit or not. I don't think
that it was "America's Funniest," but was one of the others.
