Aww ... I couldn't resist sharing this story.

Donald and Daisy have been popping in to Sinia's in South Shields (North East England) for a bite to eat for the last two months and even got into the habit of pecking on the window to get the staff's attention.
Just recently, Daisy returned to the pub - but this time she had a family of six ducklings in tow.
Landlady Sinia Jawzi said the parents must feel safe to bring their "adorable" offspring to the pub.
She first spotted the pair outside the bar on Prince George Square and gave them some food and water.
She now feeds them organic duck food and said the babies loved to eat mealworms.
The new arrivals have also been given names - Daphne, Daffodil, Delilah, Dewey, Dixie and Daffy.
Jawzi said that she had hoped Daisy would bring the babies to the pub but thought it was unlikely. But, when the family turned up, she said everyone in the pub had stopped what they were doing to watch.
"They are a huge part of the pub now," Jawzi said. "As I walk through the town centre and go on public transport, people ask how they are doing."

I do hope you enjoyed this story.
All the best Jan

This is great! A blogger friend has ducks in her backyard. I will share this with her. She will get a kick out of it.

Donald and Daisy felt so safe and welcome at the pub that they chose to introduce their six precious ducklings to their human friends.

That is such a nice story Jan. Thanks.
Thank you for the smile, Jan!
Marvelous creature.
Debby sent me the link to this post. I have Mister and Missy, two Mottled Ducks just like these living in my yard for the past 2 months. The come and go but spend every night in our pool, and most of the days. She laid two eggs on the pool concrete but did not nest them. She is very young. We have bonded to each other just like this story...
I love this! Thanks for sharing this story.
Cute story, love the duck family photo! Take care, enjoy your day!
That is such a happy story. I hope those adorable ducklings grow up and come back to the same pub too. That would be really fun if the pub attracted lots of ducks.
That is such a lovely, heart-warming story, Jan.
I loved this story Jan. Thank you. With all the ugly in the world, stories like this make us smile.
Thank you!
This is Jan. This is such a nice story. Have a good day.
What a lovely story, thanks for sharing.
Donald. lolololol.
That's so cute.
They are just darling! Thanks for sharing some happy news!
What a sweet story. I can just imagine everyone stopping to look when Daisy arrived with her ducklings. It must be lovely to have such unusual little regular visitors at the pub. Thanks for sharing this, it made me smile.
Ijust love ths, Jan. And what a darling duck family!
wonderful story , jan!!!
That is so sweet, how fun it must be to watch them!
As you know I'm a sucker for a bird story although this is new to me
That'll teach me for not watching BBC or reading The Guardian. Great names for the ducklings that I hope turn out to be accurate. But they can always change sex lattin life.
Que preciosos, me encantan. Besos.
Such an adorable and heart warming story about the family of ducks with names that all begin with the letter"D". Thank you for sharing this, Jan.
