Yes, definitely that. But I also dream of being able to press a button and say our little "all ducks, go to bed" and have all those truants down in the big pond know what they're supposed to do 😂

used enterprise ip phones are pretty cheap these days, just saying...

I suspect you might be joking and I just didn't get it, but just in case - do your ducks actually respond to verbal cues??

I have friends with ducks, and another friend who tried to have ducks this spring and lost them all to predation, and I know they would all love to be able to get their ducks to get to bed on time.

Ducks would really rather party outside all night, but we use "all ducks go to bed" every time we bring food or treats or water changes to the coop. It took some time but now when we say it they come in to see what the deal is and we can lock up behind them.

This is genius! I'm so excited to tell my friends, thank you so much for this tip!

As long as they didn't staple the wire or something.

Omg. This at my house. All old cat 3 phone line. The lines aren't even terminated anymore but I can't pull them out. Same with all the coax lines. So frustrating.
