Ducks Eating Elderberry

Our Indian Runner Ducks eating Elder-leaves directly from an Elderberry bush.
Unsere Dagoberts unterm Hollerbusch, Laufenten sind ja bekanntlich nicht nur gute Jäger sondern generell keine Kostverächter!LOL! Erst fressen sie die Schnecken aus dem Salatbeet, danach fressen sie den Salat aus dem Salatbeet, und dann kommt alles was grün ist in den Schnabel. Von Brennesseln über Holler und Mariendistel (ja, die mit den spitzen Stacheln!) fressen die Dagoberts wirklich alles mit Begeisterung, ausserdem kann man das Astwerk prima zum Nestbau verwenden, viel Spaß mit dem Clip!

I'd never heard of these ducks before--they are comical!You do all this on 1/3 of an acre? How about your neighbors--do they mind the crowing. We are much hated--like REALLY hated for our roosters. Legal problems.

Yes, only 1,500 m². If we had more land we would have more animals!LOL! Well, Austria is different, we respect nature a bit more, no problems over here with crowing cocks in rural areas. I say it´s totally unfair to complain about crowing (or barking, or whatever) on the one hand but tolerate real noise (i.e. traffic) on the other hand. Even rural roads have an ADT of well over 5,000 cars - that´s 208 cars per hour, that´s more than 3 cars per minute, let this sink in! Hence: let them crow!!!;-)

Heck it's beyond rural here--no asphalt even--and they hane made our new lives here a living hell--and we live on a bird sanctuary on a fjord --and swans and ducks are quiet---not.
