This is my new found interest. These birds are cute.... Especially the young ones.... I do not have the courage to buy living ones or patience to go behind them take care and roam around doing their chores!
So, I chose to settle of these lovely tiny yellowy reddy, wide mounthed, quacky wacky creatures - yep, ducks and ducklings... Oh, the name itself brings so much happiness in me. :)
I still remember, when talking to my then fiancé (Now hubby!) about the things i liked. This one just fell in place for both of us and we could not believe that we both were very fond of these birds and what they symbolize(Every bird symbolizes a peculiar characteristic). This one does not bring great fortune, but loving a duck means "You are trying to be happy on the surface, but deep inside , you are struggling to meet the requirements to stay afloat".... Oh, what a thought. We both had the same understanding of duck.
But, in reality, people think it symbolizes "Honesty, Simplicity, Faithfulness , Light and Being ready to take on a job that is given - forever ready". This aside, I just found out in an article that a Yellow rubber duck represents "Peace" to Jewish people!
Oh my, how many things i was unaware of. I am happy to know that these creatures are not left behind, in spite of being very sensitive and shy. When I write this, i am reminded of the days spent with my sister. She used to work in a site, where they had pool and a herd of ducklings. Everyday, we would sit down to make sure that we discussed what happened to them, how did they respond, what they ate, how they swam, what not! during our free time. Lol... I feel so funny now. But it was very sad to know that these creatures were dead in a few days' time as they were not taken care of properly. :((
I simply love them. I am posting a picture of the rubber ducks that I have collected till now.
