Pass the Awesome! An experiment about life and the way it moves me |
As now par usual, I feed the baby ducks clutches. The older clutch now readily attempts to come inside my apartment. As of last night I was able to feed these older ducklings by hand- something I have only been able to do with adult rather-domesticated geese.
So, as an experiment, immediately after they ate out of my hand, I stopped moving and just let my hand/arm lay there for a while. The baby ducks ended up cuddling up together with a few touching my hand. Upgrade! Oddly, the adult mother and or father don't seem to care that the babies are that close to me any more. I take that as a good sign. Sorry there are no macro photos of the little guys. I don't want to freak em out to much. I am still gigantic compared to them.... As a side note, The geese still have mini turf wars in my back yard. and only the full grown adults participate. It is the same with the ducks to a much lesser degree. Only the adults duke it out with other adults, and only adults harass the little ones.
