Ducklings in Hats

Message Bookmarked

Ducklings, I imagine, would only wear bowler hats - are those aka Trilbys, for you folks across the pond? They seem so corporate, what with swimming in single file and such.

Chicks (as in baby chickens) seem more like they would incline to sombreros - especially those fancy sombreros favored by mariachis where little fuzzy balls dangle from the brims.

Discuss.

Ducks might also wear Napoleon hats, though whether port and starboard or fore and aft I'm not sure

I think only a puffin would wear a bowler.

I had no idea I felt so strongly about this issue.

Baby California quails would wear porkpie hats pushed back on their heads so the crownfeather would stick out like a pompadour.

Peacocks are too good for hats - the stuck-up bitches.
Hawks would wear either a ball cap or an eye patch

Eagles wear backwards baseball caps.

Eagles are the Fred Dursts of the bird world.

Cockatoos have mohawks. They're not having any hats.

Koalas are not birds!

(Or are they?)

Swans should wear Robin Hood hats. It would just look good.

Curiously, the duck is the only animal wearing a hat of any sort in this menagerie of coloring book animals:

Did nobody else notice how disturbing this picture is? Have the kids roasted Uncle Scrooge?

Anyway, rich bitch emus would wear Phillip Treacy creations adorned with their own feathers.

two years pass...

Revive. I want to see if this thread has any legs on the NuILX, or whether it is now just a washed-up has-been, an old-fangled curiosity, a relict from an earlier zeitgeist, doomed to obscurity, fatal incomprehension, and the final descent into permanent irrelevance.

Vultures would wear fedoras with "Press" tags stuck in their hatbands and cigarettes hanging in their beaks.

I totally think ducklings would have little six or eight piece Newsie/old man caps. THOUGH I would think it was funny if they were decked out in coalminer helmets w/flashlights for their nighttime activities.

Cassowaries would wear 10-gallon cowboy hats over their crests to disguise themselves as emus. Then, just when their unsuspecting guests have sat down to watch some rodeo & drink Foster's with what they think is a laid-back EMU, the cassowary whips off the cowboy hat, under which is a top hat, then he goes all Bulgarian Brolly on the guests.

Assholes.

I think peacocks secretly wear Red Hat Society sunhats w/tulle when no one's looking. That's why they make that ugly call: "Everyone remove and hide your sunhats!"

Most penguins would wear woolly bobble hats with matching scarves.

King penguins, however, they'd wear those bobble hats with the flaps and the long strings down the side that are synonymous in my head with the bloke from the Spin Doctors.

At ATP there was a guy standing in front of us at The Stooges wearing one of these. Fair play to the bloke, he did keep it on all night whilst pogoing in the hottest room in the world. He still looked a twat though.

Can one even buy one of those Donald Duck beret-like hats w/the tassely ribbon?

ten years pass...

It's been ten years since the most recent revive. Many of the original links have gone to url heaven. We live in a different world now, but does this include differently hatted avians?
