Doctor Duck's Younger Days

Dr. Duck has seemed to have a knack, and a kinship with birds ever since he was little and hunting with his father at age 3. It is even rumored that the first words out of his mouth were "duck" even before he said "mom" or "dad". By age 3 and a half, armed with a double barrel cork gun, his father, Don Schell Senior, was taking young Doctor Duck into the southern Lousiana marshes hunting, where Doctor Duck not only shot at every rice bird in the Lousiana marshes, but could impress his dad's friends by naming every single one of of the DUCKS shown to him!
