“What a fascinating project and such a new take on an old issue. I've seen all kinds of tactics attempted: flyers, brochures, signs, but never a song! I really appreciate the effort you've made on such an awful issue. The song was dead on with so many aspects of the problem...really a great job!”

“This is an interesting project that helps get the message out in a different way about why it's not OK to feed ducks and geese. Most people are not aware of the problems associated with this common activity occurring in many of our parks and other waterfowl use areas.”
“This song reminds me of many songs I listened to and sang as a young child and the fact that I still remember those songs and have fond memories of singing them speaks to the power of singing as a learning tool for young children. I think that the questions are very appropriate and I especially like the attention to the belief systems and personal motivations that are informing each character's decision.”
“I am really impressed! You call this a song but I think it's more like a one-act operetta—it's a whole story that covers a lot of ground. You brought up issues in a way that allows people to make their own decisions.”

“ The Ducks and Us Learning Tool connects the arts, youth, and ecology in an innovative and exciting way to bring an important message about the devastating affects that ‘people’ food can have on our bird population. It would be great if this awesome song became a ‘standard’ song kids grow up singing like ‘I've Been Working on the Railroad.’ ”

“I listened to the song. How fun and such a smart way to approach the problem.”
“As I rove and contact the public at Carkeek, Magnuson, Golden Gardens, and Meadowbrook Ponds, I encounter Chases and Claires all the time. The Ducks & Us is sensitive to people needs and emotional ties to nature and clearly addresses the sensitivities of behavior change for urban humans.”
