@@pheonixnova4383 it is in some places because it's considered a wild animal (Mallard is a wild breed, as opposed to domestic duck breeds which are okay)
Lmao at the start made it look like an uncle coming back home and going all "ayyyy long time no see!! u guys wouldnt believe how the weather was boy do i have a story to tell"
What a fortune life he got..he romed all around the city.. dated with hot girls..& only come back for food..even though his parents appreciated it..😂😂😂
We got 11 mallards, we tamed them nicely and they follow me everywhere, will they come back in Spring? Also is there a way to get someone *not* to shoot your duck?
Rain The Budgie yes he came back, but he couldn't go far because he was to fat to fly. We were near city limits, not much room for hunters on our little lake.
Wait. What? That woman kicked the duck outside after eating! How rude! You should definitely hang out with the semi wild duck while he processes a few pounds of that food he hammered down lol For safety!
Absolutely not. Ducks are morfal, very greedy animals. I raised one, a muscovy duck, he was very greedy, more than on the video despite giving her special duck food 4 or 5 times a day and each time waiting like crazy for the food and eating like on the video.
What a sweet duck! He looked like he wanted to stay inside for longer, I would definitely have let him stay for as long as he wants to. Who could say no to an adorable duck like him?
If you're willing to shell out money and some of your dignity trying to wrangle on a bird diaper, you could conceivably keep a duck or a chicken inside your house without much issue from the BIGGEST issue with keeping pet birds. But then, you'd probably need to start using diapers on them from an early age, cuz I doubt that duck wants to be held and handled just to wrap something around its netherfeathers from how it liked being touched.
There were two mallards that would come to my door everyday for two years. Then in the winter gone and in May I would come home and they were back waiting and in the morning they would come back and peck at the door at 5am. They would just hang with me on the steps. They are great
When you raise a duck from birth, it becomes accustomed to life with humans, just like a dog, cat, or child would. It knows you as their parents who give them care, food, and a home. Hence why they still *want* to come back when they could fly away and be in the wild, there's not really a reason for them to leave.
Do you have to let 'Em go for the winter? Cant u put a bird harness on it? Its true! They have them! Its just when I get my duck ill get attached Well at least ill have my chick when it leaves if it must migrate....
do you mean Beaker joins the wild migrating mallard for winter and returns back? That's so strange being a pet duck and so facinating. I wonder what calls him to join the wild flock for migration
Houle Petshop not too sad. What’s sad is not knowing where your food has come from, who butchered and prepared it, if it was happy during its life or was crammed in a stinky slaughter house. Or even more sad all the vegetation that gets farmed and the farming equipment killing hundreds of thousands of rodents, rabbits, and birds....which in turn throws off their whole echo system. I hunt duck once a year to harvest and eat duck once or twice a month until next season. Hunt deer and harvest enough to eat venison the same. Nothing goes to waste. I feel bad harvesting the animal but extremely grateful at the same time, and THAT is what gives me respect for life of animals.
Also, if it weren’t for hunters conservation of animals would be a disaster. Hunting helps keep everything in balance, each tag and license sold is calculated per flock/herd size. The majority of conservation efforts are brought forth by hunters, both monetarily and actively.
Dogquack you do exactly what we did in the video, let him eat and then boot him back out cause you only have a few minutes before he explodes... look at the cement on the ground outside the door, that's not white paint splatters.
He’s so handsome! Could use some table manners though.🤭☺️ You keep feeding him all that cat and dog food and he won’t be able to fly south this year! 🐷😂😂😂
Oh man. And I wasn’t expecting the mess. That’s funny. Like it was his house!......that’s so nice of him To let you stay in his house😁....he looks so sad when you locked him Back out the door.
That's pretty sweet! We have 2 mallards and are wondering if ours are going to come back:) they were raised with 2 pecans in a pretty nice duck Hilton. I'm betting they will at least want to see there family. Good video.
He definitely eats like he's been gone all winter :) How long did it take to house train him? Also, (and I do think its great that you guys allow him the freedom of outdoors) but aren't you afraid of him being killed?
I have a question . Do all ducks(pets) know where home is and comeback incase they fly away ? And do all ducks fly away in the winter . I want a duck but I fear that it won't comeback
That is exactly how pigeons work. Ducks do stay IF established and content with their home. I have two and i trim their flight feathers. A lot like a haircut so they won't fly away, just in case something goes wrong
I totally disagree. Why to trim their feathers? No it is not a haircut, it avoid them to fly, so if we compare this to human, it would be like putting a big lead ball attached to one of your feet with a 20m chain that would prevent you to walk away within 20 meters. You prevent your birds to have the joy to flight. Just for what? Just in case? In case of what? It happens something to them? It's the life if something happen to them but they are adult and they will manage to avoid problem I'm sure. If they could talk, they would ask you to let their feathers to grow so that they can live, make their life outside your home, meet others ducks, have a family elsewhere and one day to come back. If you have a child, will you attach your son of daughter inside your house, just in case something happen outside? Just think about it please.
+Anioed If they are domestic ducks it's better to prevent them from flying as they were raised in a house. They would know nothing about living in the wild. Many people dump their pet ducks in lakes and find out that they don't survive because they don't know how to.
I would love to let my birds fly around loose, but they almost always fly away. Even if i set the time to train my semi-wild flock to stick around there are neighborhood cats that would go nuts over them. I have built them a very nice walk-in aviary for them. Believe me, I'd love to teach them to fly, but at this point in my life it isn't practical to start this hobby. Hell, it's a bitch just to get them to eat fruit. Does the environment that i provide them match anything like a jungle biosphere? Hell no. Is it a safehaven for abused animals that have it WAY better than what most wild caught parrots have to put up with? Hell yes.
he's house trained?!! how did you do that? i had a pet duck as a child and when she had to go she just did the deed. this eas way before they had duckie diapers.
