    My friend "collects" the ducks so i don't see what's wrong with it...Some people collect tea pots others ducks.:D

    The charity associated with my illness sells them as well for just the postage costs but that's more representative of my illness....If anyone wants one

    My wife collects ducks. She has a number of the Hastings ones as a result of long weekends at the Slieve Donard.

    I eat ducks :D

    My very elderly mother has the same issue with frogs. She decided to collect then couldn't cope with the influx of the little green devils from all 7 children.

    He's cute NEH - i have something similar (condition - not duck!).
    Didn't realise a post on a little duck would create so many responses!!

    I read the thread as I couldn't quite believe it. I've never heard of people collecting rubber ducks.
    Actually Jimmy people collect much weirder stuff than plastic ducks - one I heard of collected 'sick bags' and someone else did the sticky labels from fruit - bet there isn't anything that someone somewhere doesn't collect!
