The "original four" ducks starred in a short (very short) movie spoof called The Squawking Dead, produced by friend Richard Clabaugh. The satirical short is has been featured in numerous "short-short" film festivals, and has received several awards!
The "victim" is Laurel Clabaugh, who has been Abby's best friend since kindergarten -- and who helped raise the ducks. Richard's warped idea only worked because the ducks were so comfortable with Laurel.
