+Aly Mclean Thank you for your kind comments. Yes they are well looked after and i love em to bits they are so much fun to have around hard work to look after them (keeping them clean) but well worth it. :)
Hi well they do like routine every night at say about 8.30 Abbey is waiting at the door ready for bed with the other two standing around. They need a clean run to sleep in so it has to be cleaned every night. But having only one duck as you mentioned is not good they are very social birds and two minium is best as they like to stick together. There poop smells abit and if you feed them meal worms or slugs snails or worms in your garden it will smell like dog poo. But great fun and worth it. :)
That is just precious. I have a cockatoo who cuddles with me. It takes a special person for a bird to feel calm and comfortable around. I'm glad you have each other. I hope you both have long happy lives.
...and everything look so clean and orderly for having so many babies! They and you look so happy together. Love it,thank you. I will be looking for the next video soon.
@beautywolfy Hi he is very soft his feathers are so soft you can run your fingers through them with out any trouble. If they come in at night covered in mud and grime and they havnt been on the pond for a wash they have a bath in my sink so when they go to sleep like us they are all clean and warm. :)
Hi thanks for the nice comments :) No they cannot be house broken they are ducks and they cannot controll there poop it pops out as an when it comes. I feed them layer pellets split corn and maze a little grit to grind up there food some rabbit food meal worms just about everything to give them a good balanced diet. The film was taken in my "Man Cave" my office/workshop there run is on the end of my workshop set up for animals like rabbits ducks tropical fish ect.
I recently found an add with a guy selling ducks, and I've for a while been interested in getting a pet duck. May I ask if they are good as pets? Is it possible to train them to crap in a box like cats? :P
well...you must be happy to hear that ever since I saw this video for the first time, every time I go into you tube I have to see you one more time with your lovely friend on your shoulder. I guess I mist be jealous and want one too! He seems so at ease and relaxed. Love it!
Hi Bignboo Thanks for the nice words matey. Yes you are quite right white ducks are the best. And i am so lucky to have a pair of them with Em being that extra bit special. Who just likes being round me all the time. Its true the more you put in the more you get out i recon.
Hi No its not a farm house and no its not Canada. I live in a house near Bristol UK. :) And this vid was taken in my office / man cave that i built and is attached to the side of my house.
Not quite sure but it goes somthing like this. "Hello mate ware have you been"? "ive been here on my other mates shoulder" "Well its sure nice to see you you should have given me a call i would have come and watched tv as well" HEHEHE happy new year. :~)
@ryarod My pleasure sir :) Duck do like a bit of petting mine seems to like my face up close and to talk softly to them. And most important the back of there neck rubbed, As for nuzzling only when there babies do they like that :)
What a fantastically cute duck! Karen has had one of ours on her shoulder, but only when bribing her with worms or peas. We had one preening herself on our laps while she recovered from a fox attack. You are a special man to have a duck for a cuddle friend, and white call ducks are the cutest ducks alive.
@xINVISIGOTHx Your chicken sits on your shoulder and flies to get their ?? Now that must be worth recording and uploading to YouYube please i await your vid cos id love to see that........ BRILL :)
@zams1006 Hi Zams Nice to hear that they are coming along so well :).They have there white plumage coming through what color ? looks like white from what i can tell from your vid post an update on your little friends i would like to see how they are. :) I have 5 fertile eggs in the incubator at the mo .Getting pretty excited about that ill post a vid nearer the time should the end of this month if all goes well. You like the new vid hehehe turned out ok i reckon :)
@SingOutLoud8 Hi No im afraid they have no control over there poop it just pops out.We have the means to hold in ours but a duck has almost no control. So when the wants to go out it comes :) "nice" :)
Yes they are in as it gets dark i never leave them out at night or as you rightly say the foxes will have em. In the winter of last year i had some mates round and it was gone 9pm before i remembered they were still outside well the outside temp was well below -10 and when i opened the door they almost flew in the door. The guilty bit for me was that they had a layer of frost and ice on there backs they were realy cold "bless em" My workshop is heated so is the duck house so they were soon warm.
@JKDspirit If you wanted but two males would be better as they are quiter and your neighbours would not complain then. As i said ducks are socialable birds they like to be together and will be less stressed if there with there own kind :) What part of the world are you from ??
@DukeofColumbia Hi No bread as this gumms up there gut and realy does nothing good at for them as for seed i just add a bit of corn/wheat mix to there layer pellets { grass with vitimins added} and a spinkle of grit as they eat the grit to grind up the grass pellets ect. meal worms are ok as a treat but not to many as it makes there poop stink like dogs poop and makes it runny so only as a treat. They like pond weed as well lust like if they were on a lake like in the wild. Hope that helps :)
i didn't know they were so lovely and adorable. found your video on yahoo typed in ducks as pets and now i know from watching your videos very good videos your making.
Thank you again :) I still have Em {the duck in this vid he's is much older now but still likes to be picked up and made a fuss of and he will go on my shoulder but not for long these days as he have to girls to mind over now. :)
i didn't know that ducks like to sit on your shoulder like a parrot your videos have made me very interested in ducksthe fact that they cannot be potty trained my parrots are they let me know they want to go potty and i put them back onto their stand. but the seems like adorable companions and i see how they are affectionate towards you i guess they know you care about them.
I have two call ducks and once thought they were both females but one turned out to be a male. i have had them since they were a day old, so they think i'm their mommy. I never knew these little ducks would bring such joy in my life. They have their own kiddie pool and soon will be in the house more often because i am purchasing duck diapers, they just poop way to much and my mother doesnt like that too much. Someday i wish to have a set-up just like yours. :)
They are like human children how they sneak out of bed to see dad! Very adorable. Thank you for sharing. Also I'm impressed with how clean your floors are considering all the duck traffic. No feathers or stains anywhere, wow! Baldoxxx4000, you are a buzzkill. These videos are making thousands of people smile - your negativity is not welcome here.
HAHA Diced broccoli thats good i took my ducks out for a walk this evening in the rain it was dark but the street lamps was enough to see by. They spent 30 mins walking along the path hunting for worms they love it. :~)
They seem happy and a little mischievous! The best type of duck is the ones that are curious! - "no one who was ever curious, never discovered anything new"- Albert Einstein
@JKDspirit Also ware ever you keep them make the run strong then make it stronger as foxes will get in somehow.ware ever the run is make sure it is well insulated from the cold. Ducks are very hardy birds but give em a chance not to freeze to death :)
Yes sometimes he will drop his load on me but if you feed them right their poop don't stink at all. A wise man once said to me "When duck is on shoulder always wear an old T-shirt" :~) He was right you know. :~ hehehehe
What other people forget to see you obviously do and that's the beauty in animals. They have as much a right to live and be loved as we do. Keep it up and don't ever stop being kind and loving to animals. Who cares about the poop when they show you love.
I love ducks so much,I actually have one,his name is Tom and I love him very much.This is my first time having a duck,but I think he will enjoy it where he is living now:]
that's great, I have a 17 yr old cat in his last days and he can pass anyday now, they are like family huh? I may be getting a service dog as well as I am injured. good luck.
Sounds awsome matey sounds like you got it all sorted. Well the run can be made of any timber but the wire netting should be fox proof ware ever you get your ducks from {Say a bird farm} they will have all that kind of stuff there. or try B&Q they stock it. Also ware the pen is situated put a layer of netting underneath so the fox cant dig his way underneath asuming it will have a lid on it so it a full !box! of netting. for letting the ducks roam around a pen wont be much use as they hop over
That is so correct it does not smell as they dont eat meat but if left lying around for days at a time and gets wet from the drinking water being splashed around then it would start to smell hence i give a good clean every day because a clean duck will always be a healthy duck :)
He is he is one of the best Drakes i ever produced and he stuck out from the rest from almost out of the shell in my hand. Thank you for your nice comments. :)
omg omg omg your ducks are sooooo cute!!! what type of duck are they? im showing this to my mam hopefully she will be convinced to get me one with the cuteness of them! :)
D'aww! I've enjoyed the idea of a pet duck and/or chicken, or some other domestic fowl... but I'm unsure of their affection levels. I wouldn't want a pet unless I felt some mutual love. It may not be solid, of course, but this video has me leaning a little closer to my hope that these fowl do, indeed, enjoy bonding time with a kind human caretaker.
Hi Paul I always reply if i can :) This duck (Em) and the other later in the vid i raised from eggs in an incubator the rst i sell as pets. Mum and dad i bought from the local poultry farm a place ware you can buy chickens ducks and food as well plus other types of birds. So in reality they cos me next to nothing but boy what fun. :)
Hi well yes they sure are good pets if you get a duck there is a few things to remember. If you have a nice garden it wont be after a few months faster if it rains it will be like my garden a paddy field of just mud. :) They poop all the time so if you dont like poo then like from afar. They eat most things including flowers plants ect. :) They need water (cos their ducks) They are messy birds They need a safe place to sleep at night and warm in the winter. Other than that they are lovley :)
I just stumbled upon your channel and love it! I hope you continue posting vids. Just curious if ducks can be "potty trained",if they prefer to make in a water source, or if they just go anywhere they please? Thanks and take care!
nice to see your pet ducks im thinking of getting two id like one but a social animal should have friends of its own kind so two is best...i hear they poop with zero control i have a large garden are they easy to keep outside most of the time and ok indoors somtimes or do they shit every chance they get on your floor
Thank you.Well my cousin told me that theres a farmer store 15 min. away from my house and they sell ducklings.I might go over there next weekend.And how do you tell which featheres are the blood feathers?Because I heard that if you cut one the duck will bleed to death unless you pluck the feather.
@ryarod HAHA thanks for the nice comments. A duck as far as im aware will give more affection than a chicken and the bonus is you can still eat their eggs and i perfer duck than chicken. If im sat in the garden in the summer reading a mag or a book i end up watching the ducks or they come over to see you and want a smooth or a bit of play more than you would get from a chicken. :)
Hi thank you for the nice comments. The setup I have here is a complete sealed garden with over 6 feet high fences concrete bases and plants and trees against them making it over 8 feet tall no animal short of a ferret can get in so they are very safe. They also have a little house they can run into if scared or just get in the pond its over 6 feet deep and has a roof on it so plenty of places to hide in if it happens {but so far it never has} :~)
The quacking is hilarious!!! :))))))) I think i will get a pet duck when I move to a house. They are awesome! :D Hmm.. doesn't it poop on you when you keep it on your shoulder? :))
What a perfect friendship, I love how your ducks are so loyal! They must know they are loved :)
+Aly Mclean Thank you for your kind comments. Yes they are well looked after and i love em to bits they are so much fun to have around hard work to look after them (keeping them clean) but well worth it. :)
I would LOVE to experience this-birds are awesome :D
my chicken sits on my shoulder like that sometimes, or sometimes my head. He can fly from the ground up to sit on me, I dont have to pick him up.
Hi well they do like routine every night at say about 8.30 Abbey is waiting at the door ready for bed with the other two standing around.
They need a clean run to sleep in so it has to be cleaned every night.

No they cannot be house broken they are ducks and they cannot controll there poop it pops out as an when it comes.
I feed them layer pellets split corn and maze a little grit to grind up there food some rabbit food meal worms just about everything to give them a good balanced diet.

Hi na im not I just love animals and the feathered type are my favourite. but thank you anyway. :~)

I love that it was his idea; he likes you!
He is he is one of the best Drakes i ever produced and he stuck out from the rest from almost out of the shell in my hand. Thank you for your nice comments. :)

I must ask, though: Do ducks enjoying petting and/or nuzzling?
beautiful duck
Ssooooo cute I wish to have one ^_^
omg omg omg your ducks are sooooo cute!!! what type of duck are they? im showing this to my mam hopefully she will be convinced to get me one with the cuteness of them! :)
So intelligent duck.
Good bless you
Thank you :)
I have a pet Aylesbury :') She used to hop up on me all the time. If they could be toilet trained, they'd be perfect!
ducks are so cute i love them

Hi well yes they sure are good pets if you get a duck there is a few things to remember.
If you have a nice garden it wont be after a few months faster if it rains it will be like my garden a paddy field of just mud. :)
They poop all the time so if you dont like poo then like from afar.
They eat most things including flowers plants ect. :)
They need water (cos their ducks)
They are messy birds
They need a safe place to sleep at night and warm in the winter.
Other than that they are lovley :)
I used to have a pet duck same color I miss him
Me to but I always wear an old T-shirt just incase he drops a big one :~)
hahahaha I wish I could get Em to drop a big one on the candy counter :~)
very Nice!!! i have also a duck as pet
Thats cool just need to feed them now and again to gain there trust :)
Your big shoulder looks comfortable xD
That is awesome i want a pet duck
I just stumbled upon your channel and love it! I hope you continue posting vids. Just curious if ducks can be "potty trained",if they prefer to make in a water source, or if they just go anywhere they please? Thanks and take care!
nice to see your pet ducks im thinking of getting two id like one but a social animal should have friends of its own kind so two is best...i hear they poop with zero control i have a large garden are they easy to keep outside most of the time and ok indoors somtimes or do they shit every chance they get on your floor

@ryarod HAHA thanks for the nice comments. A duck as far as im aware will give more affection than a chicken and the bonus is you can still eat their eggs and i perfer duck than chicken.
If im sat in the garden in the summer reading a mag or a book i end up watching the ducks or they come over to see you and want a smooth or a bit of play more than you would get from a chicken. :)
Hi thank you for the nice comments. The setup I have here is a complete sealed garden with over 6 feet high fences concrete bases and plants and trees against them making it over 8 feet tall no animal short of a ferret can get in so they are very safe. They also have a little house they can run into if scared or just get in the pond its over 6 feet deep and has a roof on it so plenty of places to hide in if it happens {but so far it never has} :~)
.. so nice ... you are a good Boy :)
The quacking is hilarious!!! :)))))))
I think i will get a pet duck when I move to a house. They are awesome! :D
Hmm.. doesn't it poop on you when you keep it on your shoulder? :))
