What's Making WWJ's Newsroom A Little Quackers?

SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) - The latest addition to the WWJ Newsroom team is chirping quite a lot and making us all a little quackers. WWJ's Kathryn Larson has the story.

All alone in the parking lot of the Berlin Township WWJ Transmitter, sat a scared little duckling.

"There's no water around there. It's like three miles, no water. It's a hundred acres of field where we're at," WWJ's Chief Engineer Bob O. said.

Rushing to the scene, he said he wasted no time swooping up the baby bird and driving him back to the WWJ Southfield station in a shoe box.

"All I know was its like, if I don't try to get him I'm going to run over him. So, I gotta get him," Bob O. said.

Now, as the duckling seems to be adjusting nicely, everyone is chirping up about what to name the little guy.

"Mr. J, there was Dr. J, there was Berlin, since it was down in Berlin Township, or Tweety. Oh, Rob Davidek, Davi-duck would be good too," Bob O. said. "We can put a little bucket of water, that he's in right now, put him next to the reporters, maybe give him a story or two. I think he'll work in just fine."

But even while the duck has his own swimming bucket and a bed made from Swiffer cloths, he has to fly away sometime soon. WWJ's Marie Osborne found the duck a more permanent home at an animal rescue in Waterford.
