*** His name is Betty and he is an Indian Runner Duck. Betty lives In Glasgow. Betty is very special to me because he is my very first duck friend I made while jogging at Maxwell Park and he was very loving and sweet. He loves his belly scratched and will sit up real tall for you to scratch it. He also has a wife and four kids. As per Park warden Penny, his wife’s name is Wilma and his kids are named Daisy, Donald, Abigail, and Amelia.*
*** Betty was a very good calm and quiet duck. He is very laid back and get kinda hyper when he sees something he wants, like a treat, he also loved a dog Sandy who regularly visited the Park with his owner Carolyn and likes to tug at her hair. I met Carolyn and Sandy at the same Park and took pictures with them. Maxwell Park Administration got him and his sister when they were around two weeks old. They lived at the lake or pond side until they would rather be outside in the backyard by the lake. As per warden.. she was amused that Betty doesn’t really like other people but he was really friendly with me and warmed right up to me. He can be a little tough guy to people who try and come into his nearness (what everyone calls his vacation condo since it is so big). He tries to show people whose boss by running up to them and shoving his beak unto. He doesn’t ever bite but he acts like he is going to. It always works. His favorite food is his greens. Anything green he loves. Not as much as he loves his scratches, though!
The Maxwell Park’s daily visitor with her dog; Carolyn became my friend and we now often exchanges emails ..and she gives me an up-date on my friend Betty and also on a Swan named Cynthia at Maxwell Park…who too became my friend when I use to take long walks around my friend Yasir’s villa at Sherbrook.. close by to Maxwell Park where we were lodged in Oct-Nov’08 during the shoot of Zulfi-Tasmina’s serial.
***Zulfi also did some recording of scenes involving the segments of MONA LISA and Mikaal at the same Park.
The designed pic of Betty you see above— comes from Carolyn…
