Duck works as newspaper vendor

A Chinese newspaper seller is attracting customers by using a duck as his assistant. The bird stands on a chair at the kiosk and uses its beak to collect money and pass newspapers or magazines to customers, reports Ananova.com. Every time the owner, called Wang, dozes off, the duck quacks to wake him up. Wang, whose kiosk is in the city of Guangzhou, says he has raised and trained the duck and will never kill or sell the bird.

We’re now wating for Chronicle sellers to start employing a similar tactic, perhaps with pigeons.
