Do these ducks need to be lower?

[Toddlerteaplease]

My friend thinks these need to be lower down the wall. Is he right?

I love this thread.

How about this formation or similar? The cat is unusually not telling me her opinion. (She has an opinion on everything)

Never mind the ducks, I just love the cat's catsbum face.

At the risk of getting overinvested in this... I would swap the little duck with the middle size duck so that the one in the middle position looks further away in the distance.

And I might angle their heads down a bit so they don't look so desperate to reach the ceiling. I think ducks are normally a bit more horizontal in flight, aren't they?

And make sure the lowest two aren't on the same horizontal line otherwise they'll look like they're forming a pyramid.

Pretend they flew into the room, where would they be?

Shitting over everything.

Good idea. That looks better. They have to balance very precariously on a nail with a blob of blu tack on as there is no hook or lip to fix them on. So the faces have to point up wads slightly

Damn you I now want some. I actually remember having these on the wall at home.

Flying ducks are basically slipstreaming the leader so need to be quite near each other and not too much lower, IFSWIM. See photo.
You've got the blutack at a 45 degree angle which is quite steep.
(I've been looking at Google images and a lot of them have the smallest duck first, though. Must be an arty thing as the biggest duck should go first IMO! )

flamingo ceramic ducks are probably easy to clean up after

The images I've been looking at not overinvested have been more like this...

So, you have your ducks in a row, do you 😁 your cat is gorgeous ❤

Ok. Done it. But I've now reached my picture limit so can't post a pic. Loving some of the replies on this thread. Mumsnet at its best! The cats have completely lost interest. Cheddar has buggered off upstairs and the other is snoring in her teepee.

Actual love fir this thread

Crisis!! Little duck has fallen off his perch and broken his beak off.

Try a bit of superglue, unless the beak has shattered. 🤭
Or special ceramic glue.
All is not lost....🤞🏻

I've tried superglue. It won't stink and I've got it on my hands. Will try special ceramic glue. Any recommendations? I'm a bit annoyed that they are have nothing to hang on. They were not cheap!

Lowered straight into the bin

Did you just use blue tac OP?
I know you can velcro geese to horses, but I don't think you can blue tac ducks to walls.

Copydex!

Loving this.
I've got pigs in the bathroom - did I put them up the right way???!

Crisis!! Little duck has fallen off his perch and broken his beak off.

I actually grimaced reading this.

also overinvested

A more secure hanging method is probably in order... I'm not sure I understood your earlier explanation or its reason.

I've used copydex for broken clay before.

Loveacuppa they look like they're making a bid for freedom

Are you staging your house ready for sale? I think the ducks could add a couple of thousand onto the price.
