Trifecta weekend challenge, 33 words

I can't help wanting to explain, before ending your little planet. Breadcrumbs, Fritos, we appreciated them all. How could you know you were consorting with the enemy?

Ducks. Damned ducks.

War is hell.

Haha!
People seem to like ducks more than they do pigeons, and while I generally feel the same, I think the pigeons' survival instincts would trump the ducks' size advantage---ducks seem to be a bit lazy nowadays.

Can't trust a duck. Hard lesson learned :)

Thanks so much, guys! I really appreciate the comments. And welcome to the blog!

I think I'm rooting for the pigeons, because if I humanize the ducks I can't have crispy skin. :)
