Weird wild duckling

[desertdarlene]

Not too long ago, I saw a dent in his bill like someone had hit him with a rock. He had it for a while, actually. I haven't seen him or any other ducks with a dent on their bill for a while, so I assume it has healed.

Ohh...probably some kid threw something at him. Well, I'm glad he is doing well! Thank you for the updates!

He's still around and he sometimes has a look in his eye like he's going to be a little stinker. He's molting into his raggedy self and looks similar to what he looked like this time last year.

Trouble says "I iz year old now. Girlz scare me. I a wing-duck for my fat-headed friend. Maybe next year I get girlz."

 

[LeafBlade12345]

Lol! With grammar like that, I doubt Trouble's gonna get too many girlZ! Lol

He almost got hit by a rock again. At first, I thought it was him who got hit, but it was another duck whom I think is going to be OK. Trouble was actually only a few feet away from that duck.

How are they getting hit by rocks? If it is kids, they need to be disciplined immediately and told by a figure of authority that hurting wildlife is not okay before they hurt Trouble or any other animals! I hope the little guy stays safe!

X2! I would report them to park staff if they keep it up. Where are the parents?

I said something to the dad and he said something to the kid made him move away from where the ducks were. I don't think it's was 100% intentional, just bad judgement.

Did they throw the rocks at them? Also, I see you like killdeer, I have tons near my house, they have the most precious chicks!
