Ducks Reviews

After looking through the pets and animals pages I have realsied how many animals I have owned over the years. Some of them are very normal whilst some are a little random like the two ducks we were given who we named Ronnie and Grace. Now you may say 'well ducks are such a random animal to have as a pet'. My reply to this would be 'Yes it is when ...  Read the complete review

We had two ducks - Ronnie and Grace. We got them as one week old chicks and hand reared them in the house under heat lamps. After a while they went into the garden, and finally they got too much for us wo we drove an hour away and released them with other ducks. We went back to them every day for a while and then every week and finally after a ...  Read the complete review

Last year we got our first ducks. We live in a town, but have a large garden and after visiting a few country shows felt that ducks would be nice. We had to get a cage sorted out first and looked on line and found a chap on Ebay that was selling dog cages and we found a 4 ft by 4 ft dog house with an 8 ft run that looked suitable. We had this ...  Read the complete review

In this review, I will consider Ducks as "pets" considering the category that this topic is in, rather than as a family of birds in general. Waterfowl are becomming increasinly popular animals to keep, even in an urban environment.

All around the world there have been ducks of one sort or another and did you know they are all belonging to the sub family Anatinae. Neither did I until I did some research on these creatures. I will start my travels with the African species of ...  Read the complete review

Am I quackers? My family would say so. However browsing through the pet section I came across a category for Ducks. It brought back some memories for me, as when I was about 14 I had a friend who happened to be a boy (I would have liked him as a boyfriend really) who had a duck as a pet. I cannot remember what species it was but it was ...  Read the complete review

Down at the local park there is a duck pond, and on this pond there are two main type of birds - Canadian Geese & Ducks, and it is one of the best places I have taken my children so far. We can park up, loaf of bread in hand and if we go through the day during the week they may even be hungry. One in the pushchair, other walking, ...  Read the complete review

It is unfair that feeding ducks should be seen as an activity only for the elderly. Everyone can enjoy feeding the ducks. First step is to locate a nearby pond and river. It is important to strike a balance between the beauty of the location and its proximity. Keep some stale bread aside and perhaps some cake crumbs too. ...  Read the complete review

Before embarking on any new pet, I always try to find out as much about keeping them as I can. When I decided I wanted ducks, I found it extrememly difficult to find out how to keep them as pets. Most books I found either told me how to keep large flocks for farming, or what various breeds tasted like! Eventually I found two helpful books. ...  Read the complete review
