Quacks and Quips
We sent the Robertson family some questionnaires to fill out about ducks, those famous beards and family dynamics in the clan and boy, did we learn a thing or two! First off, just to be clear, ducks are never "caught," they are "hunted." And Kay hardly ever makes anything that isn't tasty. We also learned that one of the family members recorded a rap song, another one spent a month in the Ukraine and another once found a spider in his beard. Learn more about the Robertsons through their responses below.
