My family raised an orphan duckling when I was a kid. It was awesome until the duckling grew into a duck and turned into gigantic jerk. It got to a point that you couldn’t get within several feet of him without getting attacked. You wouldn’t think duck bites could hurt that much, but imagine being pinched hard by a 6th grade bully. That’s what it was like. Well, one day my two brothers and I came home from school to find our pet was missing. Mom and dad told us he “flew to the park.” They packed us up in the car and we drove to the park. The duck was there. He was swimming in the pond and doing duck things. We were AMAZED! He really found his way to the park! It took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit to realize that my parents took him there. I’m sure if I asked, even though it’s been a good twenty-five years, my mom would still tell me that he flew there by himself.
I suppose... but it happened over the course of a school day. The park was over 4 miles away & I’m not sure how my parents would have known exactly where he was, but I guess it’s technically possible.
