Today, I was at a pond taking pictures with my new camera. I saw a mama duck leading her babies around and decided to get in closer to take a picture. Mama duck got spooked and led her babies too close to a waterfall escaping. One fell off. It never surfaced. FML

Today, I tried to take a cute selfie with a majestic swan by a lake. Just as I was about to take the pic, the swan suddenly got visibly bored of my shit and chased me into the water. I emerged from the lake looking like a soggy, defeated swamp beast. FML

Today, we took the kids to the local pond near my sister-in-law's to feed the geese. I hadn't been there before, and thought I'd take a picture. I turned around to adjust my camera, but the geese, realizing the feast had ended, took flight. Before I could react I was showered with goose shit. FML

Today, while driving home, I swerved to avoid turning a duck and her babies into roadkill. Another car was coming around a sharp bend at the time and swerved to avoid hitting me. In the end, we both ran our cars off the road, and he took out several ducks in the process. FML

Today, while running in the park, I noticed some ducks in a pond. I stopped to look at them and began quacking at them, to see if they would react. This would have been OK had I not been wearing ear-buds, blasting music, making me unable to realize just how loud I was quacking. With people all around. FML

Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML

The bird

By Mariah Barnes - 24/07/2020 08:01

Today, I saved a baby bird from the site I work on. It was the runt and did not have any feathers and was neglected by the mother. I took care of it all day at work and planned on taking it to a wildlife reserve after work. Two minutes away from the reserve, we hit a pothole and I dropped it. It died. FML

Today, I was tasked with taking a photo of my best friend getting engaged. As her boyfriend got down on one knee, I got so nervous that I fumbled the camera. It landed right in the lake. I didn’t get a single picture, and now I owe them a new Canon EOS R10. FML

Today, I was walking my dog through a park with a lake. My dog was swimming in said lake, and then appeared to be having trouble keeping his head up. I put my phone and keys on the ground and waded to my dog. He was fine, but I turned around in time to see someone run off with my stuff. FML

Poor ducky. You didn't do it on purpose. I feel bad for the duck, but I also feel bad for you. You didn't expect it to happen. My only advice for you? Try not using the flash when photographing animals. They tend to be easily scared by it. ):

Your a Fing idiot it's one thing to take pics of wildlife from a distance and undisturbing them but to push it and try to get closer! your like the media making celebs go crazy. Next time stay at a distance or leave them alone!

Natural selection is indifferent eh ;p The rest of the ducks will now spawn offspring that are proficient at hugging waterfalls. You've helped future generations adapt a slightly better survival instinct, hooray!

If you honestly think that the OP should die i have information for you: You Are A ******* Idiot, if the OP had purposley picked up a baby duck and thrown it off a cliff it would be YDI, but she didnt, she was just trying to take a picture of a cute scene of a mother duck with her babies, its really sad that it happened but theres nothing that can be done about it now so all you dumbasses that put animal life before humans STFU. And to everyone sayying "OMG #47 you have problems!/#47 you have anger problems" for a second imagine that you were a little baby bird that was starving and covered with ants that were slowly eating you alive, would you rather live through that and have to experience the pain or be put out of your misery, i honestly think #47 is one of the few smart people on this FML, if you would let the baby bird suffer then you are the sicko.
