Ha, terrific ! Kamikaze, that's the way
I like 'em done.
Well, I always hit them head first, I can't chew
too well with my feet.

Our neighbour swears that this story is
true.
The events were observed by her father in the 20s or 30s on a
property near Cowra. He was standing on the edge of a small, natural pond. In
the pond, in very shallow water were two ducklings (Pacific BD), very young
ones which couldn't fly. Standing on the bank above them with hostile intent
was the local moggy. Our neighbour's father was just about to scare the cat
away when suddenly something shot past him very fast, it hit the cat and both
the it and cat disappeared into some vegetation. After a moment or so the cat
emerged from the far side, running away as quickly as possible, and from the
from the front the mother (or father) duck appeared, rather battered but still
standing.
Has anybody come across this tactic before on the part of
Pacific BDs? (I want to know whether the duck hit the cat feet first or head
first!)
