I encountered this kind of thing twice. The first time I heard a whole flock of crows whipping up all kinds of commotion, I didn't pay a lot of attention to it, not until finally went to see what was going on. A mother duck who was completely in distress had just lost her whole flock when I could've stopped it. I learned something that day. A few years later I noticed a lot of crows up in the high trees I was walking by and noticed how that same commotion was going on. It dawned on me what I had seen a few years earlier. I stopped, looked around the low cover and discovered a mother duck looking at me quaking for some kind of assistance it seems. Paying closer attention she had about ten ducklings behind her hidden in the brush and the crows were ready to go on full attack if I had kept going. I kid you not, I waved at her to follow me, she turned back to her ducklings seeming to instruct them, and then she started to follow me, with all little ones behind her. This was in Lincoln Park Chicago next to the zoo and I knew exactly where she wanted to go. The lagoon in that part of the park and so we marched. First was the task of getting them across the parks inner road. I had to stop a couple of busses to make way. Then there were some stairs to get down and over and finally around a construction fence around the lagoon that was currently being completely redesigned into a more natural setting for such creatures. Well I found a small hole in the fence for them and they all scooted through that hole and began plunging into the water, which was a much safer and natural environment for them. Ducks usually have to leave the water and hatch the eggs into hidden areas and once the hatchlings are complete she has to get them back to water which is always treacherous. And then there are things like large fish who also like to take a duckling here and there. At least I was able to give something back to nature that day. Hopefully they all made it to adulthood.
@@starrysky330 humans are the worst, we’ve taken most of their habitats over the decades so interaction with humans is a daily occurrence for wildlife now after we have encroached onto their territories.
They’re actually that smart. They know how to count, use tools, tell other crows about a human (if they’re friendly or an enemy), they have funerals and that’s just to name a few of the amazing things they can do.
Aaa and we will have the same company for a while now we will have it done ✅ is a way to do it for a few hours and we can get it to you guys and then I would have to get there at least three more people and I have no problem with the kids because I cannot I want a lot of people to do
The crow kept trying to get the ducklings, but every time the mama duck was ready to defend her ducklings. The mama duck strolled away with her ducklings following, so cute.
@@dentyph5169 No you shouldn't think that way, interfering with wildlife isn't that simple. You might end up helping the crow by scaring both mama duck and her ducklings if you rush to them and then one of the two smart crow would take advantage of the confusion. Think again ! they did it well by waiting until the mama duck was shielded by the shrubs to scare the crows.
I saw something similar to this when I was a student. A pair of ducks had chosen the quadrangle to raise their ducklings- wisely enough in some respects, as it was the one area outdoors on campus other than the roof to which foxes had no access and also it had a fountain to teach them to swim- but they hadn't accounted for crows. There was a particular crow that would keep appearing and he would look away, as this one is doing, as though pretending to lose interest and then the mother duck would run and he would close in and pick off whichever duckling was lagging behind. He would also only take two hops away if he was charged at, as he was too big to be frightened off completely. I recall there were magpies as well and they'd work as a team, with one flying away if the mother duck charged at it and the other one closing in and picking off a duckling while she was distracted. Eventually all of them were eaten, but fortunately the father came back and they had another brood almost immediately and of these at least two did survive. To judge from this footage, this mother looks more experienced than the one I saw, as she seems to know not to run from the crow.
i love how all the baby ducklings stand behind the mom at 1:47 and there's the one baby duckling like HIII WAZZUP and the crows just sneaking up to him like hey you wanna come with me i got some candy and then the moms like OH HELL NO XD
This reminds me of my own baby duck story. THIS IS TRUE! Many years ago, I lived in a garden apartment building. Under the building, a mother duck made a nest to lay and hatch a healthy brood of ducklings. There were two guys in the building who owned a giant orange cat named Fang. The name was a joke. Fang was friendly to people, but was scared to death of any other animal. So one day the mother duck was taking her babies for a walk. Fang was also out for a walk. He was coming up the walkway to the building, not really paying attention to what was going on until he crossed the line of baby ducks. There were ducklings to the left of him. There were ducklings to the right. And Fang went into a panic. He was afraid of the baby ducks. Fang was a disgrace to all cats everywhere.
Mama Duck: hey, hey hey HEY! They're still alive! Crow: No they're not. Mama Duck: Of course they are. Look they're moving. Crow: Yeah, they're zombies. They do that. Still dead though... Mama Duck: *facepalms* Crow: Oh come on, don't be like that, just give me one of them. Mama Duck: GET OUTTA HERE !
The frightening bit is that crows' intelligence rivals that of primates. Looks like one was distracting the mom so the other can try to grab a duckling. That is cooperative, synchronized attack strategy, right there.
Are we comparing their intelligence to ours? What is the bar we measure animal's intelligence with? Because they act more like us? That's not very reliable
Tommy Tucker uh. i think you're the stupid ones here. In psychologist study crows intensively. Their intelligence is unheard of outside of primates. Their intelligence is even comparable to dolphins. And crows are the only animals ever to solve problems (problems they would have never have faced outside of a laboratory setting mind you) without using trial-and-error method. Something even dolphins and chimpanzees employ.
What you say is true. Once a crow has seen a person with a rifle and what it can do, they'll flee if you point one at them. Even pointing a broomstick at them would make them fly off because they remember that rifle. They have great memory and great curiosity about things. I think it's amazing how when you see a group of them, there's always one not close to the others looking over things, and when that one sees potential danger it will start cawing to warn the others to get out of there.
Eddie D - I'm sorry but a mother duck is not dangerous to a crow. Usually all a mother duck can do is get her ducklings behind her and spread her wings to try and protect her ducklings. If a hawk finds her family, mama duck is no match for a hawk. It will swoop in and carry a duckling off one by one. Everyone needs to remember wildlife is in a city because man has built so much that wildlife loses more and more of their habitat. They deserve a little help from us. Nesting, food, water & shelter can be provided without socializing the wildlife. Some wildlife does get used to us if they come year after year to the same habitat and realize the human is not going to bother them.l have some ducks and birds that return every year. Other birds and animals that stay because they do not migrate and the area is good for them all year long.
. Your acting as if every human follows one role and we're all the same. We aren't animals. Your only assuming things through the perspective of a few news stories or your own. I don't respect genuine sexist people so your opinion, in my opinion, is shit. And I can't change your opinion because your too stupid to understand that we're not cave men anymore
from a different point of view this just shows how much stronger and "durable" are animal babies, while the mother defends the baby ducklings, she knocks them in every direction, but they just stand up like nothing happened... meanwhile a human baby drops a candy and cries for hours on end
lol animals are instinctual. we are emotional/spiritual. an animal mother would abandon her babies in dangerous situations that directly affects the mother. a human mother would fight knowing she would die to protect her baby. and I say that confidently as a mother. I would have fought a bear with my teeth and died to save my baby. you can't compare humans and animals fairly. we all have our stengths and weaknesses.

I live near a river in Nottinghamshire, UK, and one day I saw two baby ducklings who had apparently lost their mother. The ducklings ran together over a wide grassy area towards the river but one was taken by a crow. The other made it to the river and because they bond with the first adult they see, it saw some ducks on the far side of the river and the little thing paddled across valiantly against the tide. I couldn’t see whether it had made it or not but it was heart wrenching to watch.
@@childishalbino1952 Indeed. I hate these "go help them" idiots so badly.... people just don't freaking get a simple fact of "circle of life" ... YEAY WE HELPED BABY BIRD A !!!!!! .....yes and in the process YEAY WE JUST KILLED BABY BIRD B because the mom couldn't bring them food because you idiots denied them the food.
Would you say the same thing if they were baby snakes? or baby spiders? i don't think so. You only want to save the cute animals, but the ugly ones you would let them die.
Rocketmind Inoc I think it has more so to do with animal bonds. For example, we, like all animals, have closer bonds with certain species over others, like dogs and horses, over snakes and spiders. The other reason why humans might be reluctant to intervene and help a snake or a spider is because they are poisonous so naturally it makes sense to keep a distance from these animals. Nothing to do with ducks being "cute".
+Venger True about bonds I guess but we are definitely biased towards cuteness. The more fluffy, cute and big-eyed something is, the more we will like it and vice versa - quintessential prejudice.
Yeah, at a particular point the crow was pretending to be looking for something to eat on the ground... Out of the wide area available, the ground closest to the ducklings just happens to be where it wants to forage!
Crow: I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. Duckling: Quit it! MOM! Mama Duck: Leave my kids alone you jerk! >:( Crow: LOL, U Mad?
Crow to the mama duck: EY, GIMME SOME CHICKEN!! Mama duck: U blind? IM AN F-ING DUCK. A DUCK!!!! A magestic creature that doesn't deserve to be eaten. Crow: aw c'mon, just a little- Mama duck: u better fly out or I'll bish flap you! Crow: holy shiz. FLY M8, FLLLLYYYY!!!! Mama duck: let's just pretend nothing happened. *Waddles away*
They also have gangs, and try to intimidate other birds. I love photographing them though. Solitude of the Ravens th-cam.com/video/MF0_IBE-mD4/w-d-xo.html
Crows are a mix between Engineers and The Mafia. They are extremely smart, and can figure out complex things easily, they can memorize individual faces, your home and your car. They regularly play games of espionage with their food with a series of decoys and fake outs when storing food for any possible on lookers. When they learn a new trick they teach other crows this trick, they gossip, if you are nice to the, you have made a friend of the The Family, but mess with one of them and they will give all the information they have on you to every crow that will listen and they will mob you on sight, they hold grudges.
There is no family of ducks you d0mp Fugg, that s why the ducklings die WAY more than other Cygnets. Cause the duck rejects the drake after the babies hatch
I agree w/ some of you here. Don't interfere with nature. i don't think i need to make it clear that this isn't the same as watching someone be mugged or beat up. I learned my lesson when I attempted to help a bird being attacked by a hawk. Hawk dropped the bird, but it was injured and died. So, the bird died and the hawk went hungry. Neither one won. That's why I no longer fuck with nature. Now, rescuing injured animals is completely different and I am for that.
Well my point is, assess the situation properly. We're blessed by ability to learn not for nothing. It's our right to avoid things that may get ourselves in trouble.
There is a balance in nature , what would you think will hapen if there are no predators in the animal kingdom? They help in regulating the prey's population so they will not harm the ecosystem.
Some times you get to witness incredible things in nature - I follow eagles (Bald Eagles and White-Bellied Sea Eagles) through live feeds. A few months ago, a Pacific Black Duck laid her eggs on a White-Bellied Sea Eagles nest. It was off season, but the eagles (especially the male) chanced to visit the nest a few times. They were puzzled by the eggs but they left them alone - the male eagle even guarded them and areated the nest a bit. Every time the duck had to leave for feeding, she would cover the eggs first, but two ravens spotted the bits of white and took them all! I know crows and ravens have to live too, but I don't like them at all! The ravens can be right rascals - one distracts the owner of the nest and leads them on a chase, the other is ready to jump in and steal eggs or chicks!
Okay. If a bunch of crows attacks your children in the park, don't ask for help. LET NATURE DO WHAT IT NATURALLY DOES. These ducklings are not in the wild, dude.
@@danieljudah225 You are the IDIOT !!! Do you know how many ducks & geese nest in cities? People and children enjoy seeing wildlife up close. Some of us help wildlife when we can. In a city if you have a yard or property you can be classified as a certified wildlife habitat if you provide water, shelter, food, nesting areas. Use only organics and try to grow what normally would be found in your state. I planted specific trees, fruit, flowers, milkweed, put in a pond and have other water features. Birdhouses and natural nesting areas. To sit in an area with birds and other wildlife is so good for mental health. Just listening and observing. Contact the National Wildlife Federation if that is something you're interested in doing.
God made every Mamma's so protective. Whether human beings or animals the love which a mother has, is unconditional. Let's love all living beings and protect them.
Thanks for helping the ducklings. They have such a hard time when they are young and many are killed. In the water it's the pike that get them. I have ducks come regularly to my boat to be fed.
Duckling 1: What's goin' on, Mom? 😧 Mom Duck: There's the thieves. You watch out. 😰 Duckling 2: Maybe they wan'na go with us swimming? 🤔 Mom Duck: No, they're not. Hide behind. I wan'na show them some Karate. 👊👊👊🤬🤬🤬
If you're going to take on the crows you'd better be careful. Wear a hoodie and hide your features. They're incredibly smart and can be vicious. They'll remember your face, follow you home, and tell all their friends to harass you. Some Scary birds!

These crows show there intelligence here. Moving slowly to not set off the ducks' natural motion alarms, keeping low, not making any sudden movements... they're quite smart.
I had a squirrel knock down a birdhouse and in the time it took me to run into the house to get a towel for the chicks (only a few minutes) 3 crows got all five of them!
Never get between Mom's and their babies..she's very brave...but she also not turning her back on the twin..I was up in Northern California and was walking my dog on the side if I5..close to Oregon and a mom bear walked right out the woods with her babies and I froze dog froze..and she just gave me a glare and wandered on her way..my mom is still like that she's 87 and spunky I take care of her and she's so much fun sometimes ❤ and she loves scary movies
I think you were right not to shoo the crows here. The mother duck gained some experience dealing with the crow and she wasn't exactly overwhelmed. If you had intervened, maybe the ducklings would have been frightened and would have scattered, making it easier for the crows to prey on them. Also, crows are ruthless at times and do this. Grey crows are even worse. Thanks for capturing and sharing this moment!
Also, unless you hide your features, crows can litterally remember how you look like and, by following you, can find out what places you frequent. If you piss off a crow, it will tell its buddies and even its offsprings that you're bad.
Good Duck, you show that crow who’s boss. Though to be honest I’d go out there and scare off the crow myself, already do that with the dang magpies as they keep hurting the robins and sparrows. I’d either spread my arms out and caw at them or take out the hose and set it to jet stream, either usually works.

The ducklings ran together over a wide grassy area towards the river but one was taken by a crow. The other made it to the river and because they bond with the first adult they see, it saw some ducks on the far side of the river and the little thing paddled across valiantly against the tide. I couldn’t see whether it had made it or not but it was heart wrenching to watch.
Love how the human scares the crows away and saves the day
Shouldn't have, wild animals looking for food shouldn't disturbed
and they became 0rey to another animal while, they crow will go predate on something else
@@childishalbino1952 Indeed. I hate these "go help them" idiots so badly.... people just don't freaking get a simple fact of "circle of life" ...
YEAY WE HELPED BABY BIRD A !!!!!!
.....yes and in the process YEAY WE JUST KILLED BABY BIRD B because the mom couldn't bring them food because you idiots denied them the food.
1:46 Hey kid, want some drugs?
Duckling: Go Quack yourself

LOL!
Mother Duck: WTF you say to my child
Boy the mothering instinct is very strong.
Camera man: "You go honey. I'm more afraid of the crow than the duck is".
Every mom got that built in "POWER OF LOVE"
2:35 is he saying "OOOO a Bee!" lmao.
I don't like this "leave them alone it's nature" mentality. We fucking live here too. We're a part of nature.
You get the MUC award. Most Underrated Comment.
Would you say the same thing if they were baby snakes? or baby spiders? i don't think so. You only want to save the cute animals, but the ugly ones you would let them die.
ThePat545 I'm talking about babies, they don't bite until they are grown ups.

I think it has more so to do with animal bonds. For example, we, like all animals, have closer bonds with certain species over others, like dogs and horses, over snakes and spiders.
The other reason why humans might be reluctant to intervene and help a snake or a spider is because they are poisonous so naturally it makes sense to keep a distance from these animals.
Nothing to do with ducks being "cute".
+Venger True about bonds I guess but we are definitely biased towards cuteness. The more fluffy, cute and big-eyed something is, the more we will like it and vice versa - quintessential prejudice.
Crow be like :come here little duck😈
Baby duck:😦
Mother duck be like:Don't you even think about it😡
@@SonicTheCoolKid lol
I love how people just wanna watch in scenarios where they should want to help. Heartless.

Crow: *Ayo Kid want a chocolate ?*
*crow: hey kid Come here I got you some candy*
*Mama duck: NOT TODAY!*
Yeah, at a particular point the crow was pretending to be looking for something to eat on the ground... Out of the wide area available, the ground closest to the ducklings just happens to be where it wants to forage!
Мама утка показала вороне" где раки зимуют".
Crow: I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.
Duckling: Quit it! MOM!
Mama Duck: Leave my kids alone you jerk! >:(
Crow: LOL, U Mad?
JUST LOVE HOW INSTEAD OF HELPING BABY DUCKS YOU JUST STAND THERE AND RECORD IT
Wtf do you expect him to do idiot? The mom has it covered shell probably attack him also jesus how dumb can you be?
Bro that crow looks like a shady drug dealer when he waddles sideways 😂
Crow to the mama duck: EY, GIMME SOME CHICKEN!!
Mama duck: U blind? IM AN F-ING DUCK. A DUCK!!!! A magestic creature that doesn't deserve to be eaten.
Crow: aw c'mon, just a little-
Mama duck: u better fly out or I'll bish flap you!
Crow: holy shiz. FLY M8, FLLLLYYYY!!!!
Mama duck: let's just pretend nothing happened.
*Waddles away*
Hahaha

Woo, look at mama duck's head feathers. Highest I've ever seen on a duck before = super pissed.
1:49 Those two little ducklings clinging to Mom got dragged 😆
Mom is the only one willing to fight till death for her babies
Absolutely right '
I swear crows get cockier and cockier every year.
They also have gangs, and try to intimidate other birds. I love photographing them though.

Crows are a mix between Engineers and The Mafia. They are extremely smart, and can figure out complex things easily, they can memorize individual faces, your home and your car. They regularly play games of espionage with their food with a series of decoys and fake outs when storing food for any possible on lookers. When they learn a new trick they teach other crows this trick, they gossip, if you are nice to the, you have made a friend of the The Family, but mess with one of them and they will give all the information they have on you to every crow that will listen and they will mob you on sight, they hold grudges.
I think a family of ducks waddling across the road is _THE_ cutest thing _EVER_!
There is no family of ducks you d0mp Fugg, that s why the ducklings die WAY more than other Cygnets.
Cause the duck rejects the drake after the babies hatch

They then spas out but get back up.

oooohhhh beeeee! That was the funniest part. I’m happy they finally decided to help.
I agree w/ some of you here. Don't interfere with nature. i don't think i need to make it clear that this isn't the same as watching someone be mugged or beat up. I learned my lesson when I attempted to help a bird being attacked by a hawk. Hawk dropped the bird, but it was injured and died. So, the bird died and the hawk went hungry. Neither one won. That's why I no longer fuck with nature. Now, rescuing injured animals is completely different and I am for that.
Even if you watch someone being mugged, you still have to think twice before interfering.
Well my point is, assess the situation properly. We're blessed by ability to learn not for nothing. It's our right to avoid things that may get ourselves in trouble.
Jenifer Leo Yes, I get it..lol. You don't have to argue/re-state your point. I knew what you meant. I was agreeing with you/acknowledging your point.

Yes,
The two filming this pissed me off. They could have easily scared off the crows.
@Question stfu
There is a balance in nature , what would you think will hapen if there are no predators in the animal kingdom? They help in regulating the prey's population so they will not harm the ecosystem.
Some times you get to witness incredible things in nature - I follow eagles (Bald Eagles and White-Bellied Sea Eagles) through live feeds. A few months ago, a Pacific Black Duck laid her eggs on a White-Bellied Sea Eagles nest. It was off season, but the eagles (especially the male) chanced to visit the nest a few times. They were puzzled by the eggs but they left them alone - the male eagle even guarded them and areated the nest a bit. Every time the duck had to leave for feeding, she would cover the eggs first, but two ravens spotted the bits of white and took them all! I know crows and ravens have to live too, but I don't like them at all! The ravens can be right rascals - one distracts the owner of the nest and leads them on a chase, the other is ready to jump in and steal eggs or chicks!
Like a veliciraptor in the movies
A crow would never try that with a Canada goose.
Next time get in there dude.
NO! Let nature do what it naturally does.
Okay. If a bunch of crows attacks your children in the park, don't ask for help. LET NATURE DO WHAT IT NATURALLY DOES. These ducklings are not in the wild, dude.
@@marioamartinez6117
Get a life, you sound gay. Punk!
The ducks were not pets, idiot.
@@danieljudah225 You are the IDIOT !!! Do you know how many ducks & geese nest in cities? People and children enjoy seeing wildlife up close. Some of us help wildlife when we can. In a city if you have a yard or property you can be classified as a certified wildlife habitat if you provide water, shelter, food, nesting areas. Use only organics and try to grow what normally would be found in your state.
I planted specific trees, fruit, flowers, milkweed, put in a pond and have other water features. Birdhouses and natural nesting areas. To sit in an area with birds and other wildlife is so good for mental health. Just listening and observing.
Contact the National Wildlife Federation if that is something you're interested in doing.
How are ducks considered wildlife, but crows are not?
Love how the crow gently moves sideways in 1:45 XD
Great Courage by Mom Duck..
God made every Mamma's so protective. Whether human beings or animals the love which a mother has, is unconditional. Let's love all living beings and protect them.
Thanks for helping the ducklings. They have such a hard time when they are young and many are killed. In the water it's the pike that get them. I have ducks come regularly to my boat to be fed.
It's always the black bird being brought down, fight the power my winged brotha!

Anyways, I do find it funny people call them fedoras when they actually are trilby hats...Fedoras are a bit bigger and look better TBH.
the first video where someone helps the ducklings out, thank you very much.
Big points for not putting obnoxious music or commentary over the video.
Duckling 1: What's goin' on, Mom? 😧
Mom Duck: There's the thieves. You
watch out. 😰
Duckling 2: Maybe they wan'na go with
us swimming? 🤔
Mom Duck: No, they're not. Hide behind.
I wan'na show them some
Karate. 👊👊👊🤬🤬🤬
its funny how the mom tries to protect the babies but she doesn't care how she runs over them when she attacks the crows
If you're going to take on the crows you'd better be careful. Wear a hoodie and hide your features.
They're incredibly smart and can be vicious. They'll remember your face, follow you home, and tell all their friends to harass you.
Some Scary birds!
@alwaysbusiness4 Wise comment. I will remember that. And thank you for your service but keep in mind the Pentagon and CIA have become clandestine organizations that use our servicemen and women to do their bidding and NOT the bidding of the common American citizen honoring the Constitution, the foundation of our freedom.

Thank you, brother
I love the thuggish way the crow side steps 😂😂 adorable sneaky bastard
1:46 Lmao! Damn crow man trying to be sneaky and the way the mom shoo’s him away LOL
Five little ducks went out one day
***** Hey lady--you got the love I need.
The mother duck's instinct is on point...The cowardly crows trying to eat her ducklings know NOT to mess with her...
That momma duck bout to spirt ball that crow out of existence
These crows show there intelligence here. Moving slowly to not set off the ducks' natural motion alarms, keeping low, not making any sudden movements... they're quite smart.
And I bloody hate them.
Wow, I didn't know crows were that aggressive, either. Also shows just how large crows can be!
They're opportunistic predators I've seen a group of crows try to drive a wounded pigeon out into the open so they could kill it
They are omnivores
I had a squirrel knock down a birdhouse and in the time it took me to run into the house to get a towel for the chicks (only a few minutes) 3 crows got all five of them!
@@sherriianiro747 Oh no!
1:48 "We all fly down here, Billy, and you will too!"
It was fortunate that she was able to get into cover to help defend of her ducklings.
Never get between Mom's and their babies..she's very brave...but she also not turning her back on the twin..I was up in Northern California and was walking my dog on the side if I5..close to Oregon and a mom bear walked right out the woods with her babies and I froze dog froze..and she just gave me a glare and wandered on her way..my mom is still like that she's 87 and spunky I take care of her and she's so much fun sometimes ❤ and she loves scary movies
this is the cutest thing i have ever seen, and i don't blame the duck, she is just trying to protect her kids !
I watched a murder of crows on PBS and let me tell you I was astounded at how Intelligent they are..
Too intelligent. They need their own secret service.
ZotDudot7 They are very intelligent.
Hi Captain!! I watched more of your channel already. I see U getting good at your theme. I like! Amazing stuff! Very well. see you again
Знает Мама утка от куда неприятности ждут. Молодец.
I think you were right not to shoo the crows here. The mother duck gained some experience dealing with the crow and she wasn't exactly overwhelmed. If you had intervened, maybe the ducklings would have been frightened and would have scattered, making it easier for the crows to prey on them.
Also, crows are ruthless at times and do this. Grey crows are even worse. Thanks for capturing and sharing this moment!
Also, unless you hide your features, crows can litterally remember how you look like and, by following you, can find out what places you frequent. If you piss off a crow, it will tell its buddies and even its offsprings that you're bad.
@@vynonyoutube1418 they are dicks like that.
To
so what if they scattered crows need to eat to
2:35 Talking serious and... "HUH BEE"
Good Duck, you show that crow who’s boss.
Though to be honest I’d go out there and scare off the crow myself, already do that with the dang magpies as they keep hurting the robins and sparrows.
I’d either spread my arms out and caw at them or take out the hose and set it to jet stream, either usually works.
Thanks for the amazing video!
I had NO IDEA that Crows attacked baby ducks! Wow!
And you've got the incident in video!!
After all of my decades as a member of The Audobon Society this is the first I've ever known about this!!
Again, thank-you!
1:46 that crow is looking at that baby duck like he is a pedophile and the baby duck doesn't give a single fuck xD
