We visited Ireland in September. An Innkeeper had a collection of the DCUK ducks on her window sill. My wife absolutely fell in love with them. I thought it would be a great surprise for her upcoming birthday (March 17th).. Yes, St. Patrick's Day ! We have 3 grown children and currently have 5 Grandchildren. I thought that getting a Nana and Papa duck would be a great way to start the collection. From the time that I ordered them, it only took a week or so to receive them. I am more than happy with my experience. We will definately be adding to the family of ducks soon. Thank you for everything John Halloran - New Hampshire USA
