I just got in from work and looked at the news and guess what they were showing. I promise I saw this on there I'm not fibbing. You maybe able to pull this off their website. Because of the lack of winter in the Mn., ducks were still sitting on ice and the little open water there was. Guess what there was nothing for the ducks to feed on so the city was dumping corn on the banks so the ducks wouldn't starve to death. I know what your thinking local ducks that don't come down the flyaway but these were thousands of ducks. They said "these ducks that usually go south for the winter just won't leave." I thought this was hilarious. Before you go getting mad I don't think they were shorstopping any ducks, but It was a lot of ducks and thought it was kind of funny for them to be showing this on the news.

Poor, poor ducks. Thanks to humans, they won't starve to death. How ever did they live before humans came to this continent?

I wanna see 'em dump meat out in the park so that the cougars and wolves won't be hungry.

Hey, I might want to get in on some of that meat too.

I saw the same thing on the weather channel but with a little different story. It was in Minn. these ducks were being feed in large numbers all year long because they were fun to watch. The ducks became dependant on the feed and never migrated, when the snows came it became impossible to feed them but the ducks still came in large #s. These ducks have begun to starve off in large #s. At the moment they are looking for an alternative way to feed them. Yeah right! You should have seen these ducks looking for food in two foot of snow, nothing but their wings and heads above it.

And all this time, the critics have been blaming the corn program on DU...

Hey, it was DU people; actually Dumb Urban people! Been living in cities so long they've forgotten what Mother Nature put in place and why.

I am so relieved to finally get the facts right. Everybody who made all those accusations about the corn trucks needs to go after those Dumb Urbans and apologize to Ducks Unlimited!

I still say screw du. as for those ducks that were "starving" that would be the absolute BEST thing that could happen to them. #1 it would eliminate that group of ducks that think they need to stop off in downtown Minneapolis to winter. #2 it would teach those dumbass urbanites NOT to fool with mother NATURE.

I thought that they never made it south because they never made it to the egg or from the egg or out of the nest or whatever DW was saying

Dutch Dog...Say it again brother!!!!!

Softcall: you're freakin' killing me. We all know your stance on the duck numbers issue.

Keep sluggin softcall, one day somebody will land a punch on DW, but it won't be on nesting success. you can't argue with em on that.

Well I should say "argue and win"

Well I guess if all those poor mallard are gonna die from starvation anyway, we (a few disgruntled MS boys) could drive up there and take care of them...... anyone up for a ROAD TRIP!!!!!!
J/K, my dad seen the same thing on the tube and was telling me about it.
Who said you can't alter the migration of some ducks???

The gal that started this crap is a nurse and works part time for a vet. Guess that working part time for a vet makes her an expert. She was doing this by herself and made a plea for monetary assistance because she could not continue to buy the corn by herself. Dumb Urban is absolutley correct!
