Ten days old?


The ducks now are connoisseurs of lettuce. It is so much fun to feed them. They eat out of your hand and they like to nip your hand flesh when all the lettuce is gone. They will also try to get your rings if you wear one. They eat so much and when you get home and first say hello to them they run up to the edge of the tub like little puppies, eagerly waiting for food. (I like to think they are also happy to see me.)

Their frenzy to eat is so endearing. Why is that? That someone is so excited that I am giving them a little handful of chopped up lettuce is so fulfilling on a very gut level. Oh, it just makes them so happy!
