Tick Patrol reporting for duty!
One of the draws for me to Magpie Ducks is their known foraging tendencies. They’ll eat just about any bug they can get their beaks on. Last year I watched one of them crunch an entire live cicada. And those buggers are HUGE!
This morning within 10 seconds of being let out, they were on the hunt. Ticks don’t stand a chance!
What a great team! Ticks beware!
They are the only reason I also still have healthy maple trees, they eat all of the gypsy moth caterpillars that have been decimating all the other trees around. They are a great little flock!
They are so cute! Have you ever seen Muscovy ducks? They whisper quack, it’s adorable!
The Muscovy quack is super cute. Their red faces weird me out though. Lol
True. I like the ones with the least amount of red the most, haha!
Lol!
Go Ducks, Go! Now you just have to harness some up to go on walks with you. They could scour the terrain before Tom and Zora venture fourth.
LOL! Great idea, I laugh thinking of how to walk a duck LOL!
Very carefully?
