Yes.
I live quite close to this wine farm and have taken my daughter's to see the ducks march. Very nice!
The wine, does it taste differently?
@@johnsonhunglo1993 I am not sure, I have not tried their wine but we definitely have some world class wines in the region.
@@johnsonhunglo1993 I mean why would it? Its just made not messing up the environment by dumping pesticides everywhere
@Baby chiken what... yes of course they do thats the point of using ducks instead
How do the ducks taste ?

Ducks are great companions if they get used to you at a very young age, they see you as one of them and (for me at least) it is the purest form of love as they will let you hand feed them and will follow you around.
DontTreadOnMe IwontTreadOnYou interesting... Thanks
Work affects the soul. A man who loves his work will love his life.

It was so wholesome when he was talking about Elvis while smiling
I also am not racist
A duck is not just a duck truly. I had 2 when I was a child: Fifi and Fofo. Still miss them after almost 20 years. They were very smart and cudly, my beauties.
they don’t even mention in this how all their wing are gone :(
Do you eat them? Ducks are delicious.
that moment when a duck is employed and doing better in life than you
You ever see a duck work at a Chinese restaurant?
Barsabus yeah sure sweating out in dem roasting pits ready to be served
Boopady Doop right after they were hanging by the skull on a dirty metal hook with a broken neck and all feathers plucked
Barsabus duck: dabs and whispers to self: "i have served my life purpose"
Barsabus No, but I've seen a duck wok at a Chinese restaurant! *ba-dum-tss*
I love how he mentioned 1.071, he doesn't forget that 1 duck
He could've said 1.070ish duck but no, that one duck is there too, counted 😆
Every duck matters
For this comment I'm glad be the 101st liker. Lmao
Of course not, that's Elvis
Gotta show respect for the king.
i thought the same, xo
Not only they are good alternative to pesticides, they make the soil fertile since they poop alot.
And another cool fact about ducks is that they always stick together, unlike chickens, so easier maneuverability
I actually started tearing up at how cute this was, especially how proud he was of them 😭
Pixar: “You smell that boys? That’s the smell of another hit animated movie $$$$$”
And then disney says 'haaaaiii' and adds in the ugly duckling
Hurry before Disney takes the idea
If Disney was make a movie they would probably tout it as revolutionary because I have a three times remove apartheid subplot but it's never openly addressed.
Good one bro
Lol like Disney would do a new animated movie instead of more remakes

Imagine how many more eco friendly methods we could apply to the economy
As if you could ever apply this in a large scale though, but it’s nice to see in a small scale like this
Aeroponics (and in the same vein hydroponics) is actually way more eco friendly with no need for pesticides because everything is grown in a large green house with substrate that doesn't have bugs/pests. Aeroponics can fit WAY more crop output than this kind of farming as well. Only takes some smart irrigation and pest free nutrient supplements for the crops, and a small enclosed greenhouse. And no need to farm ducks for consumption either (That is what I am assuming this person is also farming for besides pest eaters? If not big pardon!) You could have your pet/show/rentable pest control ducks and feed them too with aeroponic crops. :)
@@floraazul7622 aero and hydroponics are very efficient but there is huge starting costs and requires much more technical care where as with old school just requires u plow a field sow some seed and let it go, cheap easy but not as efficient.
Not saying your wrong, just pointing out there are huge logistics in hydro and aero that are not in classical farming.
Also the manure is free, and you can sell duck eggs. This is a win win
u know, the ducks might eat the plants in farm too so i dont think this quite effective
1:46 "...like a pom-pom on top of his head." Love it! 😃😃
Yes, he and his ducks convince me that their lives are more meaningful than many other human on this earth.
More useful than any feminist college grad.

Watching Gold Shaw Farm?
Lmaooooo
Excellent
Imagine being a snail just eating some leaves in a nice field with lots of food and then you see an army of your natural predators charging towards you
Snails: We gonna destroy your crop Duck farmer: Send in the quacks
That man has his priorities in the right place. Someone give him a hug for the nice work he does!
invest for his company lol
I think it's cool to have ducks doing you pest control. However he is clipping their wings so they cant fly away from predators? Moral....? Eh you decide
@@dustymar4341 farms duck don't fly because they don't make as much exercises as wild ducks for their wings. Can you imagine him sitting down clipping all his ducks wings? It would be insanely long XD.
@@yukouri they do it when they are ducklings
@@dustymar4341 if you know the landscape and habitat of animals (wild or tame) specifically in Stellenbosch South Africa, you would know that predators are extremely few and far between. And besides, these vineyard and duck farmers are extremely meticulous with the fencing around their farms.
It would be totally absurd for these duck farmers to clip wings. They're advocating the prescripts of everything natural, that's why they're against pesticides. How does it makes sense for them to exercise animal cruelty...? They might as well use pesticides then. They practice what they preach!
The excitement in his voice when he told about his favorite duck that has a pompom on its head.. 😁

This is farming. Not just processing this is real farming. This just makes so much more sense then using chemicals
I'm sure the lay plenty of eggs as well...symbiotic farming.
Does ducks stomp Around the vineyard crushing the plants, pulling them up from the ground, and popping everywhere. Sounds smart. I doubt many farmers would use this method over pesticides.
@@starsfalldown1234567 No, the ducks do not pull up the grapevines. Have you tried to pull a grapevine? We used to use a garden tractor to pull them up because they're very difficult to yank out. Also, pooping everywhere is desirable...it's called fertilizer.
FlowerPower123 you clearly are a very educated homo sapien
@@starsfalldown1234567 that's how the soil becomes more nutrient rich 🤦♂️ that's exactly what farmers want.
Awwww they are so adorable
I am _infuriated_ that a *duck* is doing better in life than me.
Not to mention he has so many friends and family around him...never alone, never lonely.. always someone to work with and hang out...and they all sleep together safe and sound!
That's a very good life!!.. better than most of us..

Lol yeah.. My UA-cam is ducktube now
With all that's happening in the world now, I find this video strangely soothing. Maybe it's because I see these ducks so happy and working together to solve a problem rather than fighting with each other. These ducks are so cute, and helping their owner protect his crops.
Ducks gets rid of pests and fertilise the land as well
Gurson Gurson yep their poo is good manure
Sustainable solution to a problem
Gurson Gurson Fuck you bro.
DLM! You got ducks working fields and picking snails. Fucking speciest. Duck Lives Matter.
Justin Moua
Dont know if that is a satirical comment, but he is referring to the duck manure, which is very good soil fertilizer
Rintaro Hernandez It is. no one in the right mine would say that seriously
"They are there for a reason" I love that part so much
Miha Chan not aiming to disappoint you, but all animals are there for a reason. Including the ones we eat :>
None of your business wow there big brain.
“The perfect job doesn’t exi- ..”
I love to see how gentle his is with them, you can just tell that he really cares for them :) I would love to see more people working with nature in the way it should be.
i awed so hard he called himself their duck mommy. he looks so proud i'm proud of him
I'm suddenly questioning my career choice....

Do you wanna be a member of the Quack Squad? You can hand in your application letter to their main office.
im really thinking of doing it, considering the quaratine will last long and this can be done more efficiently..
This why I love the internet. Awesome ducks 🦆
God bless Mr. Metthys - He's got a warm heart. And all those ducks are so cute! Thanks for putting videos like this out there!

Lord love a duck!!!
Should the mood strike him, this duck farmer could unleash an army of ducks to march into our cities, our seats of governments, our homes, and install a worldwide dictatorship entirely centered around the omniscient power of the army of ducks.
A Ducktatorship.

“They see me as their mommy”, SO CUTE 😂😂
Yeah. Ducks, chickens, cats, they see their owner as mommy, while dogs see their owner as master.
That was so adorable and he takes very good care of them.
@@malcolm.victoriano Untrue, dogs see their owner as family. They know you aren't a dog, but the canine dominance theory has long been disproven; wolves live in small family groups of parents and their adult offspring. With cats we're unsure, but they treat us like smaller cats treat bigger cats (and parents) when in family groups. So they at least think of us like big, naked cats.
With ducks and chickens, its very different from mammals as birds imprint on the first living creature they see when they hatch, which is important for their survival so they follow around an adult that wants to protect them. So they literally think you're their mom.
My experience with pets is different: All my pets be it a parrot, a dog or a cat view me as their servant. Someone must have poisoned their minds. 😂
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy untrue, dogs wouldn't follow orders from "family" they also fight back against family. Dogs are more scared of you than any other dog. A grown dog may not buldge for its own mother but it would move out of the way for you. A dog recognizes its family as being equal to him, you are not equal you are above him which is why he is ok with you doing almost anything to him most of the time they wouldnt even fight back if you were to kick them, in contrast if it were any other dog even their own mothers they would fight back. Of course some are more aggressive than others but eventually if you train them they will literally never hurt you and follow your every word.

> The erect carriage is a result of a pelvic girdle that is situated more towards the tail region of the bird compared to other breeds of domestic duck.[2] This structural feature allows the birds to walk or "quickstep", rather than waddle, as seen with other duck breeds.

@oichi12 Most effective way to stop is to not have kids.
@John they are actually better because they also fertilize the ground.
Yes. And this is the only ethical way to "use" animals; they are not cruelly exploited, they live a happy life, and they are not killed for their flesh either. Animals are not ours to use, unless we find a way to work with them that causes them no harm whatsoever. This is a great example of that. These ducks are probably happier than most pets.
This gave me all the serotonin I’ve been lacking recently
The ducks are not only just ducks, but they are there for a reason.
