Round III

I know what you're thinking. Why didn't she stop them? Well, I TRIED! This was only the aquatic portion of the fight! Before this, there were three rounds on the ground, where first I yelled at them. Then I pounded on the fence with the green metal spike that holds up the chicken wire, then I yelled some more. I thought they were done when they took to the water and so I said, fuck it, I'll film them. But then when it got particularly nasty and I was afraid EDub was going to drown I ran (ok, walked) out to the pool to try to get them to stop. Then I pounded on the pool with the green spike all of which only got me splashed with green duck pool water, which turned out to be a good thing because it forced me to make a decision about a shower. (Aren't PDub's wings amazing?)

Perplexed, I just Googled "Why are my ducks fighting?" and came up with several items that suggest that this is not abnormal behavior, along with a video PDub and EDub's dopplegangers fighting. Somewhat reassuring. One post suggest that they are establishing a pecking order.
