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."

ReplyDeleteDebby 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...

ReplyDeleteAs you know I'm a sucker for a bird story although this is new to me
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
