Muscovy Ducklings Growing Up

in wildlife •  7 years ago  (edited)

Good morning, Steemians!

If you've been following my blog for a couple of months, you'll know that I live near a canal where a bunch of ducks of different breeds call home.

Below was the first encounter I had with the ducklings, as I made sure no cars hit them as them crossed the road.

Here they are in the canal probably a month or two later.

Here they were yesterday, crossing that same road. (Sometimes idiots just speed right through and try to dodge them but the ducks don't know what to do and start flying and some have gotten hit in he past)

To procreate, animals cannot be under constant stress of finding food or constant threat of predation - my neighbor comes out and feeds them every day, and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason there are so many. He's like the mother duck's mother lol.

Thanks for stopping by, Steemians!

those ducks are beautiful colour :) love to see them walking around in gangs.

Me too, they're quite interesting. It also seems that they aren't scared off by humans as easily as wood ducks or other breeds.

Your humanist sense and activities make me charmed. The ducklings are lucky to get a shelter such you. The idiots who want to smash them will be cursed.

awesome post my bro

Oh I'd love to have wild ducks hanging around! It's funny to watch them waddling around LOL. I have a small pond out in the back of my place that would support a few ducks. I may have to get some! Thanks for sharing them :)

I'm sure they'd love it :)

I've never seen ducks that dark in color before. Nice pictures of them!

So cute!
