[merikan]

Same. still does not love the other

 

[SolarDuck]

Aw too bad... I'm sure they will in a little bit more time. Do they sleep together in a coop?

 

[merikan]

Yes .they sleep together. But she is always trying to explain something by showing the other duck

My ducks do the low sideways head bobbing in the video and mean, "not you, go away, back off, or mine." The duck they are saying it to is on the side the head is bobbing to, or behind them. My ducks often say it to less prefered ducks over resources, like food or water, or me. I have heard that ducks say it about prefered mates too, like, "back off that's my Drake!"

It is basically the opposite of the usual up and down head bob we see.

Hey hiiii. they get used to each other. but there is a problem. the old duck had long nudged the new duck to climb on it in the water. now he's trying to ride the new duck. trying to mate
