Rescue duck advice
Aww I’m glad she’s thriving!! Thats so cute that she zooms over to the mealworms!! My duck was a solo and unfortunately I had no chickens to keep her company. So, she was with me 24/7. She was with us for almost 2 months before she officially left the coop and joined a flock of mallards that... -

Rescue duck advice
Hi, sorry if this is too late! I rescued a solo mallard a few months ago too. Also, living in NZ 🤗 I found that my duck had no interest in Topflite seeds. I started off with chicken feed crumble from Petstock and mixed it with nutritional yeast from the health store. She was on this for the... -

Aww that’s very sweet of you! The flock seems to be sticking around this season. They’ve grown in size and seem to waddle around in trios. Come night time they’re all together in front of a neighbours lawn (about 20 ducks). Zazu still responds to her name with quacks but she doesn’t approach... -

Zazu hasn’t come back but we see her with her flock almost everyday (her mate always sticking close by her). She has the most distinctive quack which makes it easy to identify her. Oftentimes when she’s flying overhead or hears us we’ll hear those quacks. A couple of days ago we counted 11... -

Thought I’d add some pics of her over the past couple of months 😄 -

Zazu has officially joined a flock 🥲 Thursday evening she flew off and didn’t return home. I went down Friday evening to the house she was chilling at previously and there she was with her friends. She quacked but didn’t follow us home. We continued leaving food and water out on our lawn but... -

It was getting late last night when Zazu didn’t show up. So, we decided to take a stroll through the neighbourhood. We came by a house with ducks on their front lawn. Zazu was among them and quacked when she saw us. She started to follow behind us with two other drakes also waddling behind... -

It breaks my heart knowing that the other ducks could be harming her. Unfortunately, the only way I can protect her is when she’s home. If I could have it my way, she’d be home 24/7 but she’s a little free spirited one. I also don’t want to clip her wings considering she’s still a wild mallard... -

She has definitely been exploring her options when it comes to drakes 😂 Yesterday I let her out at 6:30am and she flew off. We didn’t see her till about 5:00pm when she flew overhead with another drake and quacked at us. We thought she’d be gone for the night but come 8:30pm she waddled... -

Aww I love this! They are absolutely adorable 🥰 I know how you feel! When Zazu left the first night, I bawled my eyes out. It’s such a bittersweet feeling. I’m sure they are living their best lives and are killing it with the other ducks! It sounds like they had a great upbringing with so... -

We left the doors open and she would go outside but come back in when she was done. I took her to the front lawn this evening, hoping to find her flock. We saw them flying but they were quite far. She flew a few laps around the neighbourhood but was chased by a drake. I waited by the mailbox... -

She came back this morning! It was 6am when she waddled back into the driveway with a young drake. I was in the kitchen when I heard some peeping so I walked out and immediately Zazu ran over and into the house. The drake looked for a few seconds and then took off. She came and nuzzled my hand... -

Zazu has flown the coop 😭 This evening a flock of mallards were flying overhead whilst we were outside. They eventually landed down the road and we could hear their quacks. Zazu quacked a couple of times and flew over the fence in their direction. I went out to my mailbox to have a look and... -

Good morning I was wondering if this is Zazu being territorial or playful? We had a little bird visit and at first Zazu paid it no mind. The bird was eating Zazu’s food and going up close to her. Eventually Zazu started to chase her around, but not pecking at the bird. She would also flap her... -

Update on Zazu Today my dad visited and she was delighted to be following someone around the garden. Every time he would dig a hole, Zazu would jump in looking for worms. We would turn around to plant new flowers only to find Zazu eating the others 😂 Yesterday she flew to the neighbours across... -

I hope we get to see her again once she leaves. Fingers crossed! She’s been extremely affectionate and hasn’t wanted to leave my side since she came back from her little getaway. I wonder if something spooked her -

Update on Zazu 🤗 This afternoon she was out foraging on the front lawn when I had to pop into the house. I was gone for less than a minute and when I went back out, she was gone. I spent about 5 mins running around our property and out on the road to try and find her. As I was calling out her... -

Hi, I have a question about Zazu’s pecking/nuzzling. Every morning she wants cuddles and will hop onto my lap whilst I’m having a coffee. She would then nuzzle at my neck and play with my necklace but there was no pecking. Recently however she’s been been pecking and pulling at my skin. At... -

Update on little miss. She’s been enjoying the sunny weather and spends most of her time in her pool. This pic is just after she finished rummaging in our compost bins for worms. She’s also managed to fly about 5 metres at shoulder height. -
