Showboating #sherduck 21 #warwick 20

Sherduck loved to showboat. This wasn’t in the sense of showing off (though to others it does look that way) but instead he liked to strut his stuff by going to areas that other species wouldn’t have access to. For example, if there was a large crowd lining the banks of the river, not only could he get a literal bird’s eye view of what was going on, he could also land in the middle of the river for his own perspective without fear of any harm coming to him. He might get something thrown at him or towards him to encourage him to move if the audience required him to, but then that would give him the motive and the moral high ground to retaliate and fly towards his attackers. This act made him equally unpopular with both humans and ducks as they saw it as an act to dissuade the humans from feeding them, but it did assert Sherduck’s dominance as top duck.
