They might look friendly........

We were hanging out at Tim's parents condo, when Makayla went outside with Tim's sister to play in the backyard. All of a sudden this duck flies out from behind the bushes and takes off after Makayla. She had her wings spread out and was making this mean sound. Tim was just inside the door when he saw it happen, so he runs outside to get the duck away from Makayla. Everywhere she tried to run to escape the duck would get in front of her and trap her. So, Tim yells at his sister to pick her up, and he would get the duck away (the duck almost came in the house.) Tim finally got the duck to calm down and go back into the bushes. Makayla came in the house crying and terrified at what had just happened. We looked outside where the duck was and saw a bunch of little chicks (she was just being a protective mom!) So we grabbed our camera and went out there to take some pictures (Makayla kept telling us not to get to close, because ducks are mean) However, no one knew she was even out there, until Makayla just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. About 10 minutes after the whole thing she took her chicks and left the backyard. I don't think Makayla will be wanting to see any ducks anytime soon.
