These newborn ducklings jump off high ledge
by themselves to waiting hands of kind and caring
banker… (banker?)
It amazes that these little ducklings took the “leap of faith” into the waiting hands of a human stranger off such a high ledge.
Their mother quacked encouragement… how brave they were!
I twice had baby ducklings… you will not BELIEVE how sweet and full of personality they are. They are little people with very cute feet and the tiniest, softest little wings.
They trust you implicitly… and will snuggle with you to keep warm, safe, comfy and lovey dovey.
As they grow up, they clean up a garden very nicely (like geese who also are great watch geese!) and are the dearest of pets.
Even their quacks are cute.
Enuff! : )
Now for a quote lesson: “Sometimes a leap of faith can save your life.” But not always! :O : )

… by the way… animals do feel much of what we feel, and oftentimes, even more acutely and severely than we do.
This is because their nervous systems can be even more attuned and sensitive with much lower threshholds for pain than ours. Expecially animals taken from the wild.
Also… children suffer much more greatly from pain than assumed. Their bodies and minds do NOT forget, even if they cannot seem to recollect details.
Cruelly admiminstered pain most often affects a person’s choices and lifestyle for the duration of their lifetime.
Societies do not continue to exist for any reasonable length of time when even minimally populated by individuals who have been painfully disciplined and abused.
Pain grows and spreads like a virus. Once administered, the recipient either chooses good or evil, then prays or preys depending upon their predilections.
Perhaps our former vice president suffered greatly in some way in his past…
