In this video, I check on the turtles in the new ponds and hand feed them shad. I also feed my pet alligator gar and mallard duck. Thanks for watching!!
Yeah that's a mallard. If she ever came near me I'm blasting her. I haven't had a good season with mallards in a while so I'm taking every opportunity.
Gambusia can travel on the legs of waterfowl and quickly spread ac cross continents Plus he caught like how many females and they probably live spawn 40 each?
Haha, aww, the duck is like a web-footed puppy, following you around! Just wait until next spring; she'll be introducing you as 'Grandpa' to her babies
@@abz11329 ...Dude. Ducks can _fly._ She can leave and go find a husband, or one could fly to these ponds and end up falling for her. Life finds a way~
@@alexisgrunden1556 i hope it happens because she seems lonely there. i’m bummed out that the other ducks left. i hope the ponds get full of all kinds of life and have their own community there lol
@@abz11329 Once the vegetation side of the new ecosystems is more established and thriving, I've no doubt that more life will move in. It's already likely that at least some of the ducks will return at some point; this was their childhood home, where they felt safe and cared for; that leaves an impression~
I just want to remind everyone that Fish Whisperer earns more when you don't skip through the ads on his videos. All you have to do is watch his delightful videos to see that he is putting his earnings to wonderful use. This channel is one of my very favorites. The least I can do is let a few ads play to show my appreciation. Hope you guys will do the same. Peace, ya'll! ✌️💙
I love that the turtles currently have no competition when feeding, except for each other! 😊 And I hope (but doubt) that the other ducks come back. But then there’s still that younger set of 3(?) that could be mature enough for the ponds now.
That duck seems to have really taken a liking to the pond. If she sticks around, ducks flying over head will eventually spot her and come down. She might stay the only permanent resident, but I'm pretty sure she'll have company from time to time, and probably a nest of ducklings next spring.
The pond looks amazing! You need to plant some trees or shrubs around the pond. And one day a beautiful tree swing. You can make your own little utopia.
The sounds when ducks eat on the water is always so amusing to me 8D. I love how the turtle pond is so clear. The gar pond though, I guess the enclosed space made it easier for the water to be murky faster.
just this guys voice is so soothing, i freaking love ponds and pond life, not sure how i ended up watching this guy feed his gar and blue gill, but im content over here with it (:
These videos are just awesome! This is my dream to have Ponds like this and fish and turtles and Ducks and Geese.. You've done such a wonderful job with this.. A lot of thought and work went into all of this. And I hope it's bringing you as much Joy as it does to me and hopefully the rest of us that are watching you! Looking forward to your next video! Keep up the great work!
@@cordysgleghorn5773 thats what i meant by other things, iirc he threw sticks and logs attached to bricks down in the water so fish have places to hide and make nests
@@birbbos219 Yes, he's actually put quite a lot of structure in those ponds. Although, with the amazing power of hindsight, it might have been a good idea if he had put some big piles of cinder blocks, concrete pipes, logs, etc in those ponds before they filled up. Maybe something for his next project?
"wholesome" is the exact word that comes to my mind when I watch his videos. I always find myself thinking "his parents did a wonderful job". At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, it's nice to see in this day & age. The world would be a better place with more people like this in it. (Too corny?)
I always wondered why you didn't have the peninsulas back to back to make it easier to not have to walk all the way around to travel to. Your reasoning was so well planned!
The new pond is beautiful! Nice to see the turtles settling in. I hope they all start coming up to you to feed. Looking forward to Tank in the new pond. I wonder if any of the ducks will come back home?
The duck got a taste of good life and she ain't gonna plan to leave anytime soon

This sounds wrong is several way
Hope you can find tank. He should be with his squad
I'm sure Tank is a girl because its nails are short, but yes, we all miss it.
@@lucemonfalldownmode he or she is proably lonley without the extra turtles
And also the brave bluegill that survived the gar tank for like a year
@@lucemonfalldownmode yh and males don't usually reach that size.. I think they are all most likely females
@@企鹅120 well tank is with the other turtle (forgot it’s name)
How can anyone dislike this??? This dude is so genuine.
Well it was only four ppl lol
It’s not to their standard. Ignorant humans
He is the best friend I never had 🤣
The 4 dislikes are from the ducks that left
@@str8upkills60 still tho. I can't imagine people taking time out of their day to be mean to such a good dude
The duck is so beautiful, I hope she lives a long and healthy life. You should try hand feeding her next time.
Yea the feathers😲
He should just keep that one since it chose him
He did hand feed it a shad in the last video transferring the turtles to the new pond
Turtle: YOU KIDNAPPED ME! I COULD NEVER FORGI-- oh shad.
E
Lmno true that’s how my turtle was when I tried to feed him and I gave him the shad
You are the Bob Ross of feeding river creatures. I love your channel man.
AWWWW the duck is still around, hope they aren’t lonely!
Maybe she can become interspecies buddies with the turtles! I hope so
Me to
Ducks are social animals, so she probably misses the others. Hopefully they or some others will come back to keep her company.
Nah, Mallory is cool; she's just chilling. She's the smartest. She knows good real estate and she knows he'll help her out
The duck can fly out the pond you know

I also love that the turtles don’t have to compete with the bass & catfish for food! 🐢 ❤️
I never knew ducks didnt all fly together in a pack like that. Is it possible that particular one may just not quite be mature enough yet?

So cool watching them in that clear water. The duck is beautiful. I'm glad she stayed for awhile.🤗

that water is clearer than my vision
Same
Lol
Oh gosh it's clearer than my future
Oh gosh it's clearer than my future
Saaaaaaaaame
You are a very caring man. The world could use so many more like you. Thank you for being you. We appreciate what you do.
Suggestions:
- Make a gravel beach ramp for the turtles not to stir the bottom
- Add a polarized lens to the camera to filter the water reflection
God idea - not certain if the camera being used, can be fitted with a polarized filter, but it would certainly cut out the glare!
@@patpierce4854 Yes, even tapping a cheap polarised plastic film would do the trick on a sunny day.
that last duck is a sweetheart
That duck is not leaving DaddyO. Lol looks like you will be getting her a little house.
Honestly the best series on TH-cam I’ve ever watched. I’m so invested
Proud of you! such a beautiful thing to see how far all this came along to be what it is today
You have made your ponds a paradise for all of the critters you support. ♥♥♥
The turtle feeding never gets old. they all have their own personality
I absolutely love that you brought food for every living creature in the pond, that is awesome.
Thank you for being nice to that duck ❤
I love hearing the little turtle chomp
I’m really liking the bluegill in your pond Kyle, stay safe and always be awesome
So good to see them adjusting well.
This was one very satisfying video!! Especially after seeing the blue gill follow you like that. So many little victories keep piling in!
This is so peaceful and wholesome, it makes me feel calm
I love seeing the turtles paddling away with their dinner! 🐢🐟
Thanks for sharing. Tiny tim got another lol 😆
Thank you for being awesome and cheering me up. Tiny tim is so cute
All the minnows jumping out of the way as ya feed the gar. Love it
So peaceful and your videos are wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
The video description is so straightforward you get exactly what’s in the video! Love it!
“She follows me around everywhere”
Me: *heart melting*
Duck: I just want more food.
I wish the water stays this clear for longer, it's such a treat to the eye!
The turtles look like they are swimming through the clouds!👍🏻💕
Love the clear water of the lake, it's great to see them swim away with the fish. Pure joy :)
The pond looks amazing! You need to plant some trees or shrubs around the pond. And one day a beautiful tree swing. You can make your own little utopia.
It's so relaxing to check out you and how you react to the surroundings that you have created with nature.
So nice that the turtles don't have to compete with the bass for shad anymore.
*Nice to see the kids eating their foods! Hope they like it.* 🐢
The turtles are very cute🥰🥰🥰
Not cuter than the duck eating
They really are.
Hello this is another beautiful video! Looking forward to seeing Tank.
This guy is a legend loved the old videos but this new pond looks amazing
I feel comfortable when i saw feeding turtle video. Thank you very much. 🥰🥰
These new ponds rock! So clear and you can see everything
The sounds when ducks eat on the water is always so amusing to me 8D.
I love how the turtle pond is so clear. The gar pond though, I guess the enclosed space made it easier for the water to be murky faster.
Love that solo duck. Hope it stays grounded and enjoys its life at the ponds!
She is SO grown up. Love that duck. Name her Goldie cause she's precious & strong
Gold is soft, maybe silver 🤔
Ever tried to "bend" a brick of gold? If we want the strongest, it's Titania? It just doesn't roll of the tongue the same ;)
Her name should be diamond cause of the blue feather
@@Bolgernow i doubt that i will ever feel a brick of gold lol
@@lorddeez1977 Yet...yet ;)
Can I ask how are the second clutch of eggs doing. I know they hatched but how are they doing?
They are doing great! I released them onto another pond because the first group of ducks would attack them anytime they got close.

Seeing the progress at the ponds is so satisfying and the videos are really relaxing. Thanks a lot for your great content!
Really neat how we can see the turtles glide in for the shad. Water is so clear. Great video!
They love the pond…all the wide open space…water is beautiful, I want to jump in… lol

Its less stress on the turtles fighting for food with the bass and catfish. The turtles get all your attention now. 👍👍
You need a lot more plants & structures in those ponds
Yes
He put lillypads, and other things in the ponds yiu just cant see them much in the video
@@birbbos219 he still needs more structures for the pond, those few Lilly pads won’t do much

turtle follow him around
duck follow him around
fish follow him around
what a lovely relaxation hobby ...
Do random ppl ever go to your pond and try to steal your animals? I’ve always wondered that.
Yes. That is why I built an 8 foot tall fence around the new ponds.
people are so rotten. Making a good thing here and have to ruin it if they can and make it more costly to maintain. Hope it stops.
Bloody hell. Stealing ducks
@@kindspirit7 if someone comes to my fish pond i'm gonna make them float in it
@@TheFishWhisperer1 Probably another reason that duck's sticking around, it's a coyote-free zone.
That duck must be happy everyone left him alone .. he is living his best life
The video is so soothing. Those Cute lil animals eating out of hand
Lots of love for the lone duck 🦆
Can’t wait til we see Tank and Seven in the pond

I LIKE TURTLES…
your pfp goes with your comment so well
@Wei Wei It can be both.
As do I, sir. As do I.
We all do
Me too
I’m gonna miss the old pond but these new ponds are so cool and great
The pond is getting livelier as time passes, loving it! And i really love the Bluegill beds, it adds to the beauty of the pond.
Yess I've been waiting for this since you told us about the new ponds!! 🐢
Your turtle videos always make my day better :D
That's so awesome. You keep it up and Tiny Tim is not going to be tiny anymore. Also love how the duck eats, super cute.
This is my new favorite TH-cam channel
Doing great. God bless your ponds.
Its amazing to see the fish following you ❤❤❤
I'm so happy everything is going to plan! I remember when you were building them and the rain was coming filling them up. Seems like just yesterday
Pancake sounds like a great name for that turtle. 👍

They love you dude, you are a good shepherd
Your videos are awesome and I always look forward to watching them!!
such a beautiful body of water !! well done !
The reflection of the sky in the ponds is so memorizing.
And HILARIOUS freaking VIDEO icon image of this VIDEO, with the turtle. I SWEAR the dang turtle is smiling for joy. BOSS.
D o you ever think about doing underwater footage of this new pond sometime in the future?
Yes. The pond is not quite clear enough right now but in the winter it will get crystal clear.
@@TheFishWhisperer1 have you found tank and seven?
Also how are the plants doing in/by the pond?
The water is beautifully clear, hope it stays that way for a long time
These videos get better & better! Love the beautiful views & all the life. It’s pretty relaxing to watch
This is the best and the most wholesome channel ever💜

I sure hope you find it within you to bring Odie and a couple of his friends over to a spectacular new home.
Illegal
Or atleast keep feeding them and maybe keep making vids with them
You found tank? I miss him :(
hope he's not lonely in the pond
He's not lonely because there is also 7 the turtle
So relaxing. Ahhh... Thanks for this.
