SLIDELL, La. (AP) Quack! Quack! A duck call ringtone helped a Louisiana firefighter rescue six ducklings from a storm drain.
Spokesman Chad Duffaut of St. Tammany Fire District #1 says even with realistic quacking sounds coming from his cellphone, it took Firefighter Cody Knecht about 90 minutes to catch the first four baby mallards in the southeast Louisiana community of Slidell.
Duffaut says Knecht rescued the others after giving them about an hour to calm down.

I have that as a text tone for a couple of family members.
For someone else I have a bagpipe
And for three others I have a clown horn.
One day almost two weeks ago Mr Pipi and I were having lunch in one of our favorite places. Within the space of five minutes, ALL of those people texted me. I can go days and days with no activity at all on my cellphone. That day...no!
I heard a guy in a booth in back of me ask what was that??? His friend said it sounded like a cellphone.
I had to turn the sound off until we left the place
