I made this discovery with my ducks, Brown-o and White-o. One day I started quacking at them and time stood still as they stood, frozen to the ground, their ears keenly attuned to the sound.
“But ducks don’t have ears,” you might be thinking. Well, may be they don’t have outer ears but they certainly have inner ears. My sister used to pull their feathers apart with her fingers and she located the tiny holes on the side of their heads where their inner ears were located.
The only other time when Brown-o and White-o stood frozen was whenever a crow would fly overhead. They were terrified of crows, although the crows never attacked them.
