Hi xp1, Thanks for having a look and commenting.. I don't think you are weird at all. I have owned many a wild animal as a pet.. I raised a lion from a cub in the 60's then had to sell it to a lumber jack in LA, as I had to move and counldn't take it with me.. At that time you didn't need a license to own one. That was the most expensive one I have owned.. I am attracted to all wild life and that is what I love to photograph.. I have followed this duck this year and found it laid two nests, but yesterday, discovered something had gotten to both, so she was walking around like she was lost. Felt sorry for her..
