Invent a holiday, give it a weird name, and then when the day comes around, get decked out. Talk about a place you went that no one's ever heard of. Your holiday is celebrated there and you can show your friends the timeless customs of this magical place if they'd like. Nowadays, every day is something, but no one actually celebrates it. Is it National Pancake Day? Walk around handing out pictures of pancakes, telling everyone that you’re trying to spread the word about this hidden breakfast treat but do be aware Shrive Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is celebrated widely in the UK and other Common Wealth countries.  To be truly weird, pick a holiday or commemorative day not widely known anywhere. Try "Hello Granny! I haven't seen you in years!" while grinning, of course, or "Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" When they are clearly alive, fine and well. Just make sure you're picking someone who will laugh, and not someone who will think you're crazy.  Ask random people if they've seen a rhino, and elephant, etc., "anywhere around here." Seem serious about it. But, of course, after a couple of minutes of pulling their leg, you may want to admit that it's a joke! Pretend like you don't know what some specific, common things are. When your friend asks you if you want a banana, say, "What's a banana?" Of course, some people may think you’re certifiably crazy and may think you’re harassing them. Choose your targets carefully and always do things with a smile on your face, showing you mean no harm. For example, if you see a slinky, act as if it's a great discovery. Or, if you do a minor bad thing, like forget to push in your chair or crease a piece of paper, be inconsolable. How could you dare to do such a terrible thing?! No one will be able to tell if you're serious or not!  If you see your friend step on an ant, say, “Oh no! What have you done?! Oh, little ant, your life was so short! Rest in peace!” And then move on, happy as a clam. Only do this on occasion. Again, if people can't predict your behavior, they'll probably just think you've lost your marbles. For instance, say, "Oh my gosh! Are those Oreos? They're so spicy! I never knew they sold them here!" or "These pickles taste like my brother's wallpaper." Try foods most people don't eat or foods that people eat, but wouldn't eat the way you're eating. For example, bring a lemon to lunch and eat it like an orange, or put an orange in between two pieces of bread for an "orange sandwich." Or make a sandwich with gummy worms and ketchup. You want a thing that's quintessentially you. It should be quirky and something no one else you know does. You could put a little skip in your walk, make a noise after every time you sneeze, always wear hats everywhere, or be afraid of clams. Be creative! It could be how you say things, when you say things, or even just the way you laugh. The tinier the thing, the more it'll stand out, too. You want to do something that no one else does, like collecting packing peanuts and turning them into sculptures, making piñatas, painting your nose, or writing bad poetry about Jackalopes. Who knows? If you're original enough you could turn it into a business!  This hobby could be a strange pet, such as a pet rock, a pet ladder, a pet soda can, or a pet sneaker. Take it everywhere with you, and converse with it. Soon enough, you’ll be the person “with the pet rock.” If you don’t have it, eventually people will start asking you where it is! Make sure you have loyal friends who won't ditch you for being weird.

Article: Just like humans, ducks can hear and respond to sound. Talking to your ducks will help you bond with them. You can name them, too. Ducks have been known to do tricks and be somewhat affectionate. You can buy some bird toys to play with them, or simply take the ducks in the bathtub for a swim. Every duck has a different personality. They may even play with string or try to dig holes. During feeding time, observe your ducks for any health problems. If they seem lethargic, are losing feathers, or don’t have an appetite, you should take them to a vet. The vet will provide care and necessary medication.
