Description
Ducklings are born with their eye open and they feed mainly on aquatic insects. The number of offspring produced may seem quite high, but only 20% of these will survive past two years of age.
Important Information:
Thousands of our beautiful water birds die each year of Botulism, which is a bacterial infection affecting the nervous system, from still, dirty or oxygen-deficient water. They get sick and die a slow death from ingesting foul water, decaying vegetable or animal matter containing the neurotoxin produced by the bacteria. Tell authorities as soon as possible if the water in rivers, dams, lakes or ponds is not clean and fresh, if there is garbage, plastic or sewer in the water or if there is an abundance of weed or algae. You could be saving their life.
