Got to watch this quite endearing moment with the Shoveler's today.
Not violent like the PB Ducks.

Haha cute series...looks like he's drowning her in the 5th/6th one's

Unlike the PB Ducks, she actually dives under water for him.

Fantastic sequence. Gotta love the round of applause he gives himself at the finish!
It's not just the Shoveler's. These two were going for it yesterday afternoon despite me photographing them.
