This is one of her favorite ducks, so when she heard one had moved into a neighboring reservoir, she hurried to see him. Fortunately, she found him in good company.
He had an adorable girlfriend who was much larger than him. Additionally, he was trying to keep the bigger ducks away from his sweetheart. Although it may be the tiniest duck ever, even he seemed to know that size isn’t everything.
Fast and well-coordinated, these ducks captivate their partners with their intricate movements and vocal displays. She added, “The female duck seemed very pleased with her small admirer.”
This unusual coupling was observed by others besides Emma. In the month of March, other bird lovers made special journeys to observe the newest celebrity pair at the reservoir.
Crossbreeding between ducks is relatively uncommon, but it is not impossible. Perhaps this year will see a lot of egg-laying from these serious birds, leading to the birth of a few adorable ducklings. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
