Ducks at the Local Lake

[KathiQuacks]

I visited one of the local lakes today and fed the ducks a mix of Purina feed, Mazuri feed, and mealworms. A lot got picked up by grackles & pigeons, and unfortunately some ducks didn’t even recognize it as food (so used to eating bread).. but those who did eat it were clearly very grateful

There were some Domestic Mallards, Wild Mallards, Muscovy Ducks, Mule Ducks, and Egyptian Geese! I also saw an African Goose couple last time I visited, but couldn’t find them today.

African couple from last time:

Beautiful birds. Are Muscovy protected in your part of Texas?
Hopefully, the African couple got rescued or she is sitting on a nest somewhere with hubby close by.

I don’t believe so, no, but everyone visiting is in love with them. I saw many, many Muscovy ducklings / mule ducklings.

Hopefully, the African couple got rescued or she is sitting on a nest somewhere with hubby close by.

I hope so too! It’s a big lake, they could’ve easily been somewhere else. I am extremely tempted to return and rescue them myself if someone else hasn’t.

That would be so nice to bring them home with you.
