Hi guys! Today for this blog I am talking about the five big ducklings! Well this is sad but there used to be 7 but now there are only 5. I expect that most of the predators would come out at night a take/kill/eat one of the ducklings like the pukeko here is a picture of one with A TINY DUCKLING IN IT'S BEAK!
The pukeko holds the ducklings in their beak by the ducklings neck! It is so sad! I cried because 3 PUKEKOS TOOK 3 DUCKLINGS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! I hate pukekos so much!
Here are some tips on how to become a duck/duckling friend!=
Feed them enough so that they visit you more often. Make sure that you don't hurt them. Approach them slowly and quietly while crouching a tiny bit so that your knees are bent and your back is facing upwards. Put one hand out and say "its ok we or I won't hurt you and your ducklings" Then make sure to give them some space when they need it and also give them water. Try and protect them from pukekos and daddy ducks when you are able to. Once you become good friends you can't let them come close to you and let them eat out of your hand and DON'T FORGET THEIR MOTHER!!!
How to adopt a duckling= You scoop it up with your two hands and try and make sure your hands stay still and give the duckling a little hole for its head and neck, not to tight and not to loose so that is can't escape. Put it somewhere safe where predators can't get it like pets and other birds and animals. Try and feed it healthy things like= soggy oats, chopped into tiny pieces of carrot, capsicum and grapes. Don't forget to let it run, swim, eat and drink! Also give it baths to make it nice and clean. And make sure to keep it safe especially if you have a cat or a dog!
I really don't like pukekos either why? I was playing tag at a school holiday program in a park (Western Springs) and I was running away from my friend and one of the pukeko Eggs or babies i don't know and then it came up from be hide me and bite me it did not go through my skin so it wasn't bleeding and it didn't really hurt I got such a firght and that's why I don't like pukeko

ReplyDeleteThanks, the pukekos feed the ducklings/the duckling meat to the baby pukekos, all the way until the baby's don't need it anymore because they are old enough.
