Hollywood brakes for duck crossing
If you've ever been on a studio lot, you know that they are odd, odd places. They're kind of like small theme parks, but with offices and parking lots and seriousness instead of roller coasters and fat kids eating turkey legs (it's true). Well, the Fox lot's poultry factor has gone up recently, as a mama duck and her 9 baby ducklings are now making their home in a central fountain, right in front of the News Corp building. According to Nikki Finke, the family of fowl have endeared themselves to everyone from top executives to security guards. Groundskeepers have lightened the load of chemicals in the fountain to protect the family. Employees stop by the fountain to feed the ducklings on their lunch break. The Fox day care center has been making little trips to visit the ducks, Fox staffers have been seen escorting the ducks across the street, and now the lot has installed signs warning drivers to drive carefully and look out for "Duck crossing at Ave of the Palms". OMG the cuteness is unbearable.
