Introducing the newest member of the Check family .... Violet! One of the days while the girls were playing outside, up walked three ducks (2 male, 1 female). The female duck has the most distinctive patch of bright purple feathers on her one side, hence the name Violet. Wile the two male ducks have appeared a handful of times (mainly to try to do some courting, all PG-rated to this point, we just tell the girls they are fighting to be her boyfriend), Violet pretty much comes around 2-3 times a day for food and just to say hi.
So, if you drive by our house and notice bread, bird seed, peas, and carrots (yes, we Googled what ducks eat), now you know why!
