two bolognese ducks

Yes, two pet ducks, living just outside Bologna, Italy. (A lovely city, I may add: one of Europe's oldest universities is there, so it's full of young people. And most of the buildings are pink.)

Their owners have prepared a loving, English-language page about raising them: "a difficult, toilsome, rewarding and, at times, incredibly funny task!" So do enjoy a European look at the lives of Pio Pis and Clothilde.

Oh yes, a cat got into the mix eventually, too.
