Jackets for Ducks
H5N1 is directly transmissible from aquatic birds to humans. Stop ducks catching flu in the first place. | |
Fit jackets on to ducks, geese, swans and other aquatic birds, as they
spend a lot of time splashing around in the water and getting wet and
then going home and developing a cold or flu, and then antigenically
shifting the flu to passing humans. It'd be better if they didn't catch flu
in the
first place. They need precautionary garments. And duck
facemasks.

I thought this might be a new way to bake ducks. |
|
| |
The N95 is probably the most effective, and most uncomfortable, but would suit your ducks perfectly. [link] |
|
| |
Jackets are the wrong solution. The heart of the matter is that ducks never wash their hands. |
|
| |
What about rubber boots? Their poor bare feet are always in the water even when it's freezing cold. |
|
| |
Training dogs to chase ducks coming out the water, until they are dry, might help too ... |
|
| |
I think [Laughs Last] has the right solution. Just
teach em how to use those little pump bottles of
sanitizer to wash between the webbies and all will
be well. |

This is just [Ian] trying to stir up the duck muck
and make world wide trouble where there is no
trouble. This idea could have global ramifications
and cause large scale hysteria if taken seriously. |
|
| |
all when you should have been worried about the pigs with cold wet feet.... |

Baked by Donald and Daffy Duck! Come on! Sorry, gotta bone for
prior art [-] |
|
| |
Give them beak masks.(Yeah, I saw the link.) |
|

I had a good Google for Mallards in Smoking Jackets earlier (similar to poker playing dogs). Nada. Must have been a weird dream like the giant mallards one I had the other night. |
|
| |
+ why yes of course, but maybe also a long coat for night wear! |
|
| |
The jackets must be made so that ducks are easily able to put them on and take them off, otherwise they wont feel the benefit. |
|
| |
You know, you guys all seem to be overlooking the biggest flaw to this dea, aside that it's been baked: A duck would be unable to fly while wearing a jacket, thus they would get killed off by predators because they have no way to escape. |
