persephone Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 You were just a tiny duckling..and should never have been brought home. If you had've been a wood duck, we could have fed you well ..but you were a little teal ..and one that would only eat earthworms Not insects, not dog food,not cat food,nor oats,nor softened seed. Not hard boiled egg,grain bread, or mince .Not chopped greens,or corn kernels.Not earwigs..or even the weevils I painstakingly collected from teh grain bin .Not daddylonglegs, not the mealworm I found. Only earthworms- and here it is so very dry and hot that earthworms are like diamonds ..and you ate the only 4 I found I am so sorry you got separated from your family ..and sought safety on our verandah....sorry we couldn't find a family for you nearby. Tonight I sent you over the bridge- tho you probably jumped off halfway to swim the rest of the distance I'm so sorry - I just couldn't help.

Guest Ams Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Pers it sounds like this little teal was lucky he had you to at least try all of those things. to you for trying so hard and for recognising when it was time to send him on his way.
