Duck Videos Thread!

I lost my wing clipping videos!

Well, at least my girls are molting, so soon I'll have to clip them again. I can film it again soon.

Here's the various treats and feed compilation:

Next is a foraging video.

I have a mind to teach tricks to a couple of my favorite girls...now THAT will make an awesome video!

That was cool. Your ducks are very cute. I couldn't believe the size of that fish!! Did she/he eat the whole thing?

Apple. Very cute. I couldn't see her behind the grass.

Here is what he normally looks like - he is molting one feather at a time, so at this rate, it will take all winter And Peeper is just the best duck in the world. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. When he was 2 weeks old, he got stepped on and his femur was broken. He got so much extra love and cuddles, and he thinks he is a person. I didn't know you could love these birds so much - all I can think about is what will I do when he is gone? Hopefully that is 10-15 years away.

Awe, sweet Peepers. It's wonderful how much you love him. He is very cute.

Yes, she did. It took half an hour, and by the time she swallowed it, my camera battery had died! Her name is Daphne.
Thanks!

You're welcome. Well, tell Daphne she's amazing. Too bad the battery died.

I told her. She wasn't impressed. But she is one of the sweetest, smartest, and most beautiful of the flock. Especially now that she has just molted.

I agree, she is very beautiful. That is what I am noticing about Muscovies, their coloring among different individuals is so amazing. I think in one of your videos, one of your boys was wagging his tail. So cute.

Several breeds, including Muscovies, Runners, and Calls, come in many colors. I love breeds with color variations. And Muscovies do wag their tails a lot. It's cute. No one knows exactly why. Mine often do it after I put them down (if I pick them up).

I'm almost out of videos. I have a couple more, but they aren't ready yet.
