Our two newest babies...
This morning I was drying the sink in the bathroom when I heard this high pitched yelling noise. I knew straight away that it was a duckling. Wondered why it was making so much noise so went to investigate... Remember I mentioned earlier that our cages outside are now covered with snake wire??? Well this little duckling had wedged itself in between both wires and was stuck. So much so that mummy duck was very upset and the duckling had worn a little patch of feathers off its head...
Poor darling. I gave it some help and out it came. Moved all water containers to the middle so that it couldn't get stuck behind any of them either. Mummy Duck bobbed her head up and down a couple of times and with that she took her TWO babies with her back to the nest box. One egg she rejected last week and it was dead in the shell. The other two both hatched. :) They are sooooo cute and needless to say the boys are beside themselves... Love baby animals. :)
Cheers Damaris
