The ducklings are now 10 days old and have virtually doubled in size. (Short video below) They are full of life and it's adorable to watch their antics, but they poop constantly - one of the joys of being a bird ! The metabolic rate of birds is much greater than animals, and food passes through them 4 times faster. Ducklings need a constant supply of food and water at all times for proper growth rate. This lot are into everything , anything they can reach, including shoelaces and teapots !
WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET AND HAVE A DUTY TO CARE FOR IT. For the past 18 years I've had the privilege of watching and caring for the resident Swans on our local river estuary. I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans.
