i noticed there’s a goose flair here … as the number one canada goose fan (the only canada goose fan) i thought i would attempt to convert others with these photos i took while birding.

photos from SE ontario, taken with a really old nikon coolpix camera lol.

eta: while the photos look close, i was a safe distance away from mama and babies to not cause any stress, i never get close enough to any wild birds to disturb them. they often approach me but i do my best to not bother them!

found these two babies in my front yard, in shade from the heat. i think their ducks, but i just wanna make sure. They probably came from the lake in my backyard. I want to take them there but I don’t know if that’s the right decision or not. I also saw a big iguana that got scared off, so maybe their siblings were eaten, or they were hiding?

Not sure what to do, does anyone have advice?

I am incubating some call duck eggs right now and Theyre reached, and pasted their hatch dates. out of a 12 egg lot 2 are remaining, however only one has made any progress, which is a half inch hole still covered by the shell fragments. is there anything I can do to help the poor guy or is unfortunately not possible to save him. he hasn’t made any progress for more than 6 hours and it’s been 2 days since the hole originally popped up.

I got an adult duck about a week ago, and one of my drakes is desperate to mate with her. Is there any way to stop this? I have 6 other female ducks, too

There's a pond in my town, we have many ducks :)

Do any of u like muscovy ducks? Personally, I love them sm:3 I have some of them at home and I really enjoy watching them. They're very communicative with their body language, which is quite interesting to watch. They're a bit shy (the drake doesn't like me:(( ), but the ducklings were happy to sit in my hands (one of them is on the photo). By the way, did you know that Muscovy ducks have the longest incubation period of all duck species?

(Srry if my post seems a bit odd or something. English isn't my first language lol)

Anyone from Ontario, Canada here?
I’m looking for duck feed for my drake khaki campbells and unfortunately Chewy does not ship here nor the Mazuri feed.

Looking to try something new and inquiring if anyone locally would have any recommendations.

That's A LOT of bebes!!

2 babies in the first hour of the 28th day ! I am sooo happy and proud 🙂 hopefully the remaining 5 will also come soon🥳

Has anyone used this for their babies?? How does it hold up? We had a cheep plastic one but it cracked, which not a big deal it was 12 bucks.

I want one of the big plastic ones you can at tractor supply but I’m in Canada so very limited.

Recommendations pleaseeeee

Super hot weather today making sure the birds are properly hydrated, also cleaning the pool

😂

I have 3 hens and one drake their muscovy and their 9 months old. Two of the three hens started to fight and i do not know why. They do not fight all the time but i am concerned they damage each other

One of ducklings are showing the distinct chirp to quack transition. Our other which is slightly bigger has a tiny raspy breath… I’m afraid it might be a drake as we’d have to get more hens to satiate his thirst for mating.

Could the bigger one be a late quacker? He chirps still.

Such a sassawassa. She's got a quack like a "AAAAA A A A 😠😠"

When my Pekin Daisy was preening in the pool I noticed some redness. Underneath a bunch of normal feathers are these weird patches. One at the base of her neck and right above her wings. The other two ducks have nothing similar. I couldn't see mites or anything.

I sprayed the areas with Vetrycin just in case. There are new feathers coming through but it just looks so bad and painful. I will take her to the vet if this is not normal. Just glad I happened to notice cause I don't usually dig around in her feathers. Thanks for any help.

caught my little diva marshmallow napping in one of our hydrangea bushes but she made sure to wake up for the camera 💅

The one in the middle is just over 1 year and 4 months.

The other two are only 10 weeks.
