Celestia: “Someone told us we looked like ducks, so when we went swimming in a garden pool, Cadance started quacking and we just kept it up. The few guards nearby were trying sooo hard to not crack up laughing.”
with the few that was to like the expression on the male mallard’s face over all the princesses including twilight and flurry heart. when there was a fly on celesta’s neck and a frog on her back when it had gotten the fly and also kissed an alicorn.
The guards probably didn’t want their superior officer(s) to light them up for whatever infraction to the guard code which is set out for them to follow.

It also comes down to limitations based on cognitive function. A gorilla or a chimpanzee possess sufficient enough mental faculties to communicate with outside species, but the further you get from primates the more challenging that becomes.
@Joseph Raszagal
You mean Koko? Yeah, I’ve heard of her. As I said before, it would be cool to talk with an animal of pet through a voice synthesis, thought-translating speaker. Sign language is unfortunately limited to primates because of actual hands not being present on other animal species.
@Micro-Cyberbrony
Kind of reminds me of the gorilla that they taught sign language. The gorilla itself was also raising a kitten as a pet and was sad that it couldn’t communicate with the kitten in the same fashion that it could communicate with the people teaching it.
@Joseph Raszagal
Cool :D a lot of people can say animals don’t have feelings, but instances like that hugging goose and your rooster Bobby riding with you on your bike proves that animals have a much wider range of emotions and actions than people think.
We can talk to animals, it’s just the talking back to us that’s harder for the animals.
If there was a sort thought-translating collar like the one from Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs or Up (2009, Pixar), we’d be able to have (albeit not perfect) conversation with our little buddies :D How cool would that be?
@Micro-Cyberbrony
A lot of animals can be awesome like that if they’re raised properly. I’m from Kentucky and, for example, I’ve raised several chickens. I used to have a rooster who liked to clamp onto the handles of my bicycle and flap his wings while I rode around.
@Joseph Raszagal
Yeah, no argument there. A goose can be really mean. But if a goose has been raised by someone properly, they can be sweethearts. There was a video on youtube of a goose running to it’s owner for a wing hug :D Wholesome as ever <3

Mallard: “This is my pond and you stupid horses are all acting like idiots! It’s bad enough that the geese are jerks, now all of you are here acting like the geese!”
Real talk now: Geese are assholes. Ever been chased by a bunch of them just for trying to feed them some bread? Seriously, dude, them some mean-ass birds.
That quacking is just really awkward. Other than that it’s a great drawing.
One addition I do think would be good is a life preserver around Flurry’s neck.

I think I’ve heard that before, actually. The mathematically proven part, I mean.
I just like the badassery behind monopolizing the single most expensive stretch of the board. It’s mean-spirited, economically unsound, and takes waaaaaaaaay too much time to do, but when someone lands on your Boardwalk with a shiny, red hotel on it… oh, the evil grin you’ll flash them.
Just hope that you also have the aforementioned James Bond villain cat for you to stroke while they’re handing you all of their money. It’s absolutely necessary.

His name was Bobby, by the way =D .

Yeah, I probably would LOL :D
You’d be angry too if a bunch of horses just showed up out of the blue and started hogging your private pond.
