Ducks can live longer than dogs.
Desi the Duck, a female Mallard duck who lived in the United Kingdom, was 20 years old when she died, making her the world’s oldest duck ever.
A duck’s average lifespan in the wild is between 5-10 years, but a domesticated house or backyard duck who is well taken care of can easily live into their teens.

COME ON OVER!
This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.
Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
