So, three weeks ago Dave came home with these cute lil baby ducklings who were washed out of a storm water drain during the storm. They looked like they were almost straight out of the egg, only a day or two old. Their parents were nowhere to be found after searching for ages and they were being swooped by a kookaburra and a crow and about to become dinner when he rescued them. Dave has been rearing them for the last three weeks and we will release them into the wetlands lake nearby once they have a set of feathers to keep them warm. They have practically doubled in size every week. Yesterday we gave them their first swimming lesson which didn't go very well, initially - they just didn't want a bar of the wet stuff until right at the end when we discovered that there are natural-born duck whisperers that walk amongst us disguised as mere mortals. sighhhhh *This* is my superpower?
