My wife and I were hiking on the island of São Miguel in the Azores when we met this nice young man at a secluded waterfall. He was very curious and followed us everywhere. (I think he just wanted to be fed.)

He does this every time I put him in my lap or on my chest 😂

I’ve been raising Indian Runner ducks for ages now; but this is the first time I’m really trying to imprint on them. If the video doesn’t make it clear, I have them snuggled up in my hoodie, but I don’t want to stress them, I just want to bond w them.

These three are about 3 days old, and hatched naturally but we take them from the mother bc we have a few aggressive males (yall know how it is with drakes) and some geese that we don’t trust.

They seem perfectly happy with it. I tossed some mealworms down and they were all over it!

this one and it’s sibling grew way too fast i think and has leg weakness i am fighting it with more niacin and other things but this one keeps sitting like this every once in awhile and im so worried. also does their body composition look okay? One of them their breast bone on one side is bigger than the other, i’m worried i saved these two in their eggs after their parents got killed and i want to help them be as healthy as i can make them.

I know there are a million posts and a million questions about bumblefoot... And here's another. Yes, I've read those posts.

I first noticed her limping about 10 days ago. Since then, i been soaking the foot in epsom salt baths for 10-15 minutes daily, spraying with vetericyn and wiping with chlorhexidine wipes. She doesn't have access to the pond with her sisters for now and is separated in her own, clean area with food and water for the time being.

Over the past 10 days of treatment, the swelling has increased. She isn't limping as much, but looks very uncomfortable with the swelling. She's still eating and drinking and seems to be in good spirits.

We are considering peeling off the scab this weekend and removing the core, but what I've noticed compared to nearly every other bumblefoot post I've seen online is that our scab is very small. I don't think we'll be able to fit the core through the hole unless I scrape it out with tweezers or make an incision to increase the size of the hole. Neither of those options sound great, so I figured I'd make a post to see what the least bad option might be.

We do have a local vet who takes exotics, but obviously we'd much rather not pay hundreds of dollars if there is a chance we could handle it ourselves. If it comes down to it though, we'll take her in.

Attached are two photos of her feet, and one photo of her being silly.

For those who have been following the tales of Lady Lemon and Knight Bundty through what has been a pretty horrible year, we have found what we think will be a nice home abroad while our hunt for a forever home continues.

Lady Lemon, of course, is far too busy with her beauty sleep to have regard for such trivial matters. Being as beautiful as she is, she needs a great deal of it… and for once, instead of standing guard, Knight Bundty tucked his bill in and caught a few zzzs as well.

We were driving home and saw a fox trying to catch this baby. She didn't seem to have a mama or brothers around.

Currently have her in a large box with some old towels and a tray of water.

We have chickens and live near a river. But I don't want to let her go free so little and aline. We want to adopt her.

What's best to feed her before we can get duck consontrate?

For tonight we will leave her to settle, but any tips to make her feel less lonely. She's calling for her mama.

I think she is a Piche (whistling duck)

Maybe a boy. We're calling her Slippy.

Every time I see a duck I think, “that might be my favorite duck”. Problem is I can’t say that about every duck… or can I?

My little ducks hatched last weekend (11/10) and are now living in the shed in a brooder, it breaks my heart when I go to top up food or water or change their bedding and they are terrified of me, how can I gain their trust?? Help 🥺

So my boys have been quite territorial of the pond (and me but that's for another day)

I've set up a second clam pond, plus a few random rubs around so there is AMPLE water around but they still fight.

It doesn't matter which pond is being used by who, one of the boys will kick the other out.

It's to the point where they aren't really swimming anymore and I think it's because they don't like being beaten up 😞

I don't really know what to do but live in hope they stop bickering... ANY advice appreciated. I can't really seperate them singularly 😞

Photos for duck tax!

There's a lake nearby, and they all came out to be in the shade, I guess.

My runner Oliver has this small bump on her foot. I thought it was Bumblefoot but after seeing more pictures and descriptions I’m no so sure. The bump is soft and not hot to the touch. She also doesn’t flinch when I touch it. There’s nothing hard under it, either. It’s textured and flaky feeling. What do you think?

Photo 1: Sorry about the blurry photo I was walking and when I returned the duck wasn’t there
Photo 2: These are the ducks I believe to be mallards!

Hi everyone! I am currently staying at a hotel resort in Hawaii and they have a few mini ponds and in the ponds there are lots of what I believe are mallards. I’m not sure if the resort put these ducks here, care for them, feed them and keep them safe but there’s about 50 female mallards from what I’ve gathered living in the resort or just outside of it in these ponds.

When I was walking I noticed one white duck sitting with these wild ducks. I saw on the internet that if you see a white duck that means it’s a domesticated duck and they cannot live on their own and need to be caught if you see one. If this is true what they say about white ducks should I bring this to animal control’s attention? This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this white duck around here and I don’t want anything to happen to any of the nice ducks around this resort so thank you for helping me!

This is as close as Ive been able to get to my more-ducks-than-pond full of mallards and wood ducks. They seem to really like that broken down float.

I spotted her yesterday at the duck pond. :)

What a sweet little chatterbox!
