Piper's Progress
February 1st 2012 03:26
Last night was Piper's first night with the big ducks. He/She is simply too big now to keep in a box. During the day, Piper lives in a large cage which is inside the larger duck day pen - only for Piper's safety at this stage. Compared to the other ducks Piper still might look small enough to be tackled by a hungry magpie, but it wont be long before Piper can gallop about security free.
Here are some pics of the three of them together. You can tell which one Piper is - despite being almost completely identical Piper is miniature compared to the others. Wist was quite agressive - lunging at Piper and clicking his beak. Im not entirely sure what kind of damage ducks can do to each other....But I dont think its much considering Piper runs very fast. Talli is refusing all contact. Very typical of her.
In the meantime Im going to enjoy this lovely duck weather before I have to go to work. Despit my joints screaming, despite slipping over in the wet this morning (while carrying Piper) I cannot do anything but love this beautiful cold dark weather.
