I'm thrilled they are checking out the nest already. They look like they have settled right in

Thanks guys, It really meant a lot for them to feel right at home.. Even with all the sounds of a zoo coming from my back yard.. neighbors are all the time driving by real slow like they are trying to see what the heck is making all them different noises!

Donna, Those papers will leave here first thing in the morning!!

ROFL!!!!! They are used to sounds of a zoo. They came from one here mine. I have all sorts of chickens, domestic ducks, exotic ducks and a few geese, 2 dogs and a cat

You've got a good start on one... But some catching up to do other than the ducks

We have pheasants, Chukars, 2 types of quail, chickens, dogs, a cat, 3 horses, rabbits, and 3 yard apes ( wonderful kids!).. that don't include the inside pets.

They are Black Bellied Tree ducks.. sometimes called Whistling ducks..

http://www.ducks.org/hunting/waterfowl-id/black-bellied-whistling-duck This is the info on them. They whistle instead of quack like most ducks. there is a button on the link page so you can hear what they sound like

Thanks for that link. They are pretty ducks. I want one someday!

Very nice ducks! Didn't know that they existed. I like the "whistle".....

BTW, the post office IS a "government run" facility. Not to be surprised at their lack of concern for your ducks.

I am glad everything work out for you ....congrats!

Checking out the nest

http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff511/kycountry/IMG_0227.jpg

Riffecreek-I'd love it if you could tell me (us) how you made that nest box out of the tree log....I have to make a few Mandarin nestboxes and was wanting to try that....Does it have an access door so you can check on things or clean it out? I think it's so cool to use natural materials when I can, so I want to for these new nestboxes if I can figure out how to.
