My pet ducks

These are my pet ducks, Mamma and Big boy. We were given them a couple mths ago because they were heading for the freezer and i needed something to fill the pen now that the chickens were gone. They were so nervous of me at first and over time i have gained their trust and can feed them out of my hand and even get the odd pet in. The female, Mamma, has such a personality! She is so curious and makes this little song when she is excited or disturbed. I have taken up digging worms for them and Mamma comes running over and is eagerly awaiting a worm to pop up out of the soil and she sings her song and grabs 'em. Sometimes she is right on top of my trowl that i can't even dig. Endless entertainment! To think these birds have such personalities and emotions. We must be kind to all creatures!
