At 12 noon, Uncle Wang from Hanjialan Community, Xiaoshan, Hangzhou opened the door as usual and took his little pet, Gaga for a walk.
Gaga is not a cat or a dog. It is beyond the imagination of most people. It is a mallard who is over three years old.
Every day at 12 noon and 4 pm, Uncle Wang will take the duck through the community or on the road for a walk.
Uncle Wang took a step, and the duck followed with his steps, with yellow flippers clicking. The owner stopped to rest for a while. The duck was quite human and waited obediently on the road.
Uncle Wang, who was traveling with Gaga, always attracts some people to watch. "When driving a private car, you have to stop and take a few photos. On the road, when everyone sees Gaga cute, they will reach out to hug it." Uncle Wang was confident that Gaga would not go with others because it was the pet he had been raising for three years and was closest to him.
The origin of Gaga is quite unusual. "When I found Gaga, it was about to turn into food the next second."
Uncle Wang has a wide range of friends and his friends love to eat wedding eggs. Among a group of wedding eggs that are urgently needed, Gaga is an "individual case". It stubbornly emerged from the shell and was discovered by the sharp-eyed Uncle Wang. "I can't bear to see a little life coming out, so I asked it with my friends to raise it." The trembling and trembling little life came to Uncle Wang's hands. Arrange a small nest, take care of it carefully, feed food the next day... Uncle Wang, who has experience in raising small animals, has a smooth process for treating newborn ducks. "It weighs 3 pounds in two or three months, and it is very edible." Uncle Wang smiled and described to reporters that he could eat 1 and a half pounds of snail meat a day.
In order to take care of the duck's good appetite, Uncle Wang went to the river to catch snails for chewy food three years ago. "The small snail meat will be swallowed directly. If it is bigger, I will crush it with a shovel to make it easier for it to eat."
Now Gaga's staple food is corn kernels. "Don't look like this duck looks small, it has to eat four meals a day, and it has to be fed a midnight snack at around 10 o'clock in the evening. If it doesn't eat, it will keep croaking, just like a child."
Uncle Wang said that Gaga is lively and close to people. People tease it, but it doesn't peck people. The grandson at home likes it very much. Two o'clock a day, each time I haven't been shopping for 40 minutes, I don't want to go home. "As long as it is on the ground, I have to follow me." Uncle Wang went out for a walk, and Gaga always had to follow me. Slowly, walking became a habit.
"Let's walk once at 12 o'clock, and once at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Once for half an hour to 40 minutes." Uncle Wang said that Gaga has a strong sense of time. Except for these two time points, she is unwilling to go out at other times. If she doesn't go out for a walk at the same time, she will be reminded. And she has to go for about 40 minutes each time, and she is unwilling to come back if she hasn't been able to go out for enough.
Ya Sheng was arranged to be an internet celebrity in the community. Gaga is already three and a half years old this year.
The daily life is clearly arranged - go to a special basin to take a bath in the morning, go to a special bucket to drink water at noon, and go out for a walk with your uncle in the afternoon. Gaga went out for three years for a walk, but never lost it. "It has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. It recognizes the way home. When it goes out, it always follows me closely and does not follow others."
"The habit of walking ducks has been maintained for three and a half years. There is a video of me walking ducks on the video website, which has been liked by 300,000 yuan." Uncle Wang takes the ducks for a walk every day, and the backs of the old and the young have become the scenery in the eyes of neighbors. The dog and Gaga in the community are also friends and never chase them. In the eyes of the neighbors' children, Gaga is even a little star, and she looks very cute when she shakes her head and wags her tail. Gaga is very attached to the master. It jumped on its feet, biting its owner's trouser legs, biting its slippers, and trying to spread its wings to fly to its owner's legs. "I will be by my side like a kitten, and I will help you comb your feathers. I am already like our family."
Uncle Wang is a stock enthusiast. He usually watches the stock situation on the computer and is very busy every day. He doesn't have much time to go out a day, but I will definitely not forget the fact that I walk the duck: "I happened to go out and walk around. With this little guy's company, there is really a lot of joy and vitality at home."
