I have 3 Pekins, 1 drake and 2 females, they love all types of water but one, the pond
They like puddles, thunderstorms, the garden hose and a plastic kiddie pool but not the pond.
My vet who is not knowledgeable in birds suggested I may have a snapping turtle in their and the ducks sense the danger.
Any ideas or suggestions from those who have experienced the same issue?
They will walk to within about a foot of the water and that's about it.
They forage in the grass and woods surrounding the house and I can't keep them out of anything but the beautiful pond.
