Of course! All living things have feeling. That is the point. The oddest thing was taking place by the road on my way to work this morning. A large duck, perhaps even an Egyptian goose, was standing in the cycle lane of a dual carriageway road that carries the morning traffic to the city. The duck was facing away from the wind, feathers all being blown in the wrong direction (birds prefer to face into the wind). As my car inched closer towards the duck, I could see it had its head to the tarmac, nudging what seemed to be a yellow ball.
It was a dead duckling/gosling. There this wild bird was, nudging the lifeless chick with cars passing within a metre or so of it, while it tried to get the chick to move. It could just be a natural urge to move the chick to safety, but even still - it was one of those heart stopping moments you wish you could capture on film.
