Suddenly I have a Duck who thinks I'm its Mum!

Ok so this is a little different! I don't normally post random videos outside of my usual topic, but this was too cute to pass up!

My daughter found this little feller all alone in the creek behind our house. No sign of mama duck anywhere... usually when we find ducklings we'd just give it back to mum as soon as she comes back but so far she hasn't returned.

In the mean time she has imprinted on myself and my kids and she (assuming it's a she) just follows us everywhere and has spent most of today cuddling up to my beard!

At one point I was reading a book today and when I read I usually have a little stick that I use to help me focus my eyes on the line I'm reading... she kept trying to bit the stick... must have thought it was a bug.

In this video my wife caught her trying to bite my phone while I was looking up just what to feed her! I'm not sure if the pictures of the ducklings on the website I was on are what caught her attention or if it was just the glow of my screen, but she eventually gave up and went right on back to my neck.

She either thinks of my beard as feathers or worms. What do you reckon?

It's now 12.30 am-ish and I've finally got her to sleep on a warm hot water bottle and one of my teeshirts! Fingers crossed she sleeps through the night!

Let me know if you want updates of how things go with her!

This might slow my tutorials down for a week or so!
