In the 1970s, my family acquired Mrs Duck as a pet. Mrs Duck was actually a male duck but the name stuck. He would spend hours “fighting” his own reflection — seen in the mirror or the glasses door. If our dog happened to be wandering past, the duck would attack him. Mrs Duck would ride around the backyard on the dog’s back screaming all the way, biting poor old Dog on the back of the head as he flapped his wings.

Dog was either too frightened, too good-natured or enjoyed the attention because he never beat back. Much to our amusement, Dog would tear around the yard with Mrs Duck lying on his back.

This went on for two years, until a neighbour politely asked if we would like to give Mrs Duck to one of her friends, a farmer. They lived on a large farm and their female duck had been killed when a fox got into the yard. Mum agreed as she understood that Mrs Duck was very frustrated.

A few days later, the beaming farmer was on our doorstep with a huge plate of raw steak asking to speak to our mother. “Mrs Duck had only been in the yard a couple of days when I heard a loud noise,” he told her. “I raced to the duck pen to find he had a fox seriously injured, cornered in the yard against the wire netting, wings flapping and continuously screaming. ” The farmer dispatched the fox with a shotgun and Mrs Duck was an instant hero.

Mrs Duck’s fearlessness in the face of any animal that eats meat had set him apart. From then on we called him Mrs Duck, Fox Hunter.
