Weird wild duckling

If this is truly him, I'm amazed at how good he looks. He's still got some shaggy parts, but looks pretty healthy.

Merry Christmas from Trouble. I mainly identify him from that weird shaped bill tip he has. He's such a nice little duck and knows his name.

He is such a handsome boy. Merry Christmas Trouble and dd.

Thanks! He's such an odd little duck, no longer a troublemaker and is often quiet and stays to himself, watching everyone.

There's another duck that looks like him, but has a rounder head and more normal bill. That duck is friendly and will also come to you if you talk to him. So, I have to photograph both and compare pictures to tell who is who.

Maybe they are kin.

I'm not sure. He seemed to show up all of a sudden one day with several other young mallards. I think they were raised and released by local wildlife rehabbers. We had few ducklings survive last summer.

I'm having trouble telling Trouble apart from the other ducks, but I think I saw one that looked like him trying to flirt with the girls. He's still fairly small, but not a lot smaller than other ducks. There's another duck around his age that is the same size as him.

Sounds like he finally caught up.

Yeah, I don't worry about him any more. He's healthy and seems happy. He still sorta responds to his name and has his gentle personality, but is mostly blending in with the other ducks.

Now we wait to see if he gets any off spring, maybe you'll be able top pick them out from the rest since he was unusual looking.
