    That one at 7:12 that was catching up, kicked so hard it was picking up out the water. Reminds me of a muscle car popping up on two wheels during take off. I don't understand how people can hunt these beautiful creatures. Thanks a lot to responsible hunters and conservationists for helping to bring these marvelous animals back from the brink. It's a hard life for ducks and ducklings.

      @JanusHoW 3 роки тому

      Hate to ruin the joke, but it's all instinct. When mama makes that soft, pulsing call, the babies immediately start trying to find her - and seeing that the only way out is the hole mama went through, that's where they go. Thankfully, the humans who build these nest boxes generally provide some wire fencing on the walls for the ducklings to grip.

    Thanks for posting. Love the little tiny babies. The wood ducks bring their babies and they climb on a float tied up to the houseboat. I've even had them on the swim platform of the boat. She'll rest her babies there until I come out and feed them. So cute! I've made friend with the male wood duck too. Two are named and will come when I call their name. In the fall, the males are the most beautiful ducks I've ever seen. They look like velvet. And just like they know when hunting season begin they disappear. Do I have repeat ducks from the year before? I think so...but have no way of knowing for sure. It warms my heart that you care enough to share your duck love.

      Normally, about 1/3 will reach adulthood. It's sad but that's Nature's way.

    I wonder how this duck would get inside this nesting box, while she was brooding..did she fly straight from the water to the box?.wouldnt the eggs become wet in that case?

    Culturally, wood ducks to a Chinese is like a mourning dove for American. Almost all Chinese gardens try to host a pair of wood ducks. Plus, wood ducks are the only non-mythical animal that has different Chinese name according to their gender.

    I saw a mom and her (roughly) ten babies cross a street in our subdivision going from one pond to another the other day. So-o cute. I know for a fact that there are snappers in both ponds, so it's quite possible all of those babies won't make it. That's nature. Thanks for this video.

    Can the little babies fly to get back in the box or did they leave it for good?
