Larger dark brown/black body – green mallard head – white softball size crest on his chest – No other mallard markings – he is not a small size duck – I live in Northern Michigan and it is still not very warn yet. No other nesting birds have hatched yet. Has been hanging around about two weeks now and has gotten to the point I can feed him from my hand. He will come up to me wanting to be fed. Can wild ducks and domestic cross breed? Does not appear to be injured -although I have never seen him fly.

Wood Duck Box with a 3-inch by 4-inch entrance and 1 bag of wood shavings. Comes with placement instructions. Has side opening for observing and easy clean out. Stainless screen on inside of front opening for young birds learning to exit. This house comes with shavings because normally these birds do not bring anything but feathers to the nest. All houses need to be cleaned out before the next season starts. We suggest doing it in the spring so the birds can roost in them during the winter. 24-inch by 10-1/2-inch by 13-inch. Stovall products feature all cedar construction, stainless steel and dichromate plated screws, washers, hooks and chains, hand sanded, assembled with screws, many products coated with wood protector which accents the wood grain and the natural warmth of cedar. Environmentally green practices – hand sorted down graded lumber. The Shop is heated with scrap wood, cooled with natural shade and insulation, nestled in a glen among 25+ acres of beech/maple/oak forest. Rumored staffing of woodland gnomes with a payroll of nuts and berries is still not factual.
I have read so many conflicting things. We had an adult duck adopt us. We loved her so much but a dog killed her. She was easy to take care of though. She caught most of her own food plus ate cat food, scraps, and my son always brought her home minnows and fish. So we just had to go get another one. But it’s tiny baby. We went to the feed store and got chicken starter. But she won’t eat it!!! We have to go catch her grasshoppers every day. I know you’re not supposed to give them bread but I tried mixing specs of bread with the starter food and she still picks through and only eats the bread. I tried shredded lettuce, broccoli, boiled eggs. What do I do with her? I also gave her some bird gravel and have it in her pen at all times. We are on social security so I just don’t have the money to buy crickets and feeder goldfish or guppies. She eats a dozen at a time? Also, is this normal? I feed her 12 grasshoppers twice a day. She ate 8 little goldfish at once. HELP.
Someone isn’t reading my question!!! I said I got chick starter, she won’t eat it. We live on 3 acres with lots of animals. She won’t eat greens, or boiled eggs. She ignores them. She will only eat grasshoppers and fish. She is yellow with a black tail. Not a wild duck. How do I get her to eat the chick starter???? That was my main question. Or any other suggestions on how to get her to eat what she is supposed to. Yes she is tiny. She has down, no feathers.
I put out black-oil sunflower seed to attract some birds and within a week and a half I had up to 25 mourning doves on my deck at a time. Other birds include Blue Jays, Finches, Cardinals, Titmice etc… They arrive around 6:30 am to 7:00 am and are in and out through out the day. Once one mourning dove shows up the entire flock is soon to follow. Other Videos to check out. www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com
