Good morning all,
I don't know what to do, I have 4 miniature silver appleyard ducks, 3 boys 1 girl (yes i know the ratio is all wrong but i was told when i got them they was all girls) believe it or not they quack but not excessively. All was well.
Then I took on 2 more ducks the previous owner (a teenager who had no idea on the needs of a duck) was keeping them as tiktok toys rather than ducks. They was kept in a hamster cage which wasn't big enough to keep a hamster let alone 2 growing ducks. When i got them they was 4 months old, i have had them nearly 2 months, the female is sooooooo noisy she quacks continuously for a minute to 2 minutes to almost take a breath and start again. Only being quiet when she has attention or when busy doing something like eating foraging ect.
I needs some help as i dont know what to do. She is beautiful but annoying everyone nearby! To the point someone complained about the noise to the local council.
I believe she just wants attention and to know i am there, but i cant be there all the time.
My options are to quieten her or rehome her. Obviously i only want to do the latter as a last resort. She and her partner are so sweet and have a lovely personality bit this noise!!!!!!
Please help
