In the group of my first ducks, Indian Runners, there was one duck who loved to collect little rocks, threw these into their pool and watch them sink. She particularly enjoyed flat rocks with irregular shapes that would move sideways back and forth while sinking.After thinking about your video Frank I did have a Drake that had to have done the same thing by taking the newborn duckling out of the nest to take it out to drown it. There was no way that it could have climbed out being newborn and ended up in the middle of my pen in a puddle drowned. He had to have picked it up in the same manner as Sunny. Strange what they are capable of doing.
But i am still surprised by the level of planning and following through: Grab duckling by the neck, drag it to the edge of the water, lift it over the edge and the set it down on the ground and release it.
She did not just dropped the little one, she sat it down on the ground.
