- In this video, I bring duckweed to my five pet mallard ducks which i hatched from eggs. They devoured every piece of duckweed and really seemed to enjoy it.
Thanks for watching!

A cool but possibly annoying perk about duckweed is that it’ll grow insanely fast in a pond if you put a decent amount in it.
Yea it is. My family has a farm with a huge pond right next to it and the pond was completely covered in duckweed
Might that be a good thing if it keeps the duckies away from other plants? It might even help protect the fish a bit. I guess the Fish Whisperer will have to be the judge of that. I have no idea.
As long as there are enough fish, and maybe a bit of current I'm pretty sure this won't happen.
Duckweed is really helpful at reducing water loss from evaporation and limiting algae growth as well as being a good food source for pond fish and waterfowl. Chickens also like it and it also good to add to compost. I actually keep some of it year round in my aquarium and add it to my pond in the spring. Buying a small batch of duckweed was the best $7 I ever spent. XD
@@bramtencate2170 yes because ponds have tons of current LOL.
I'm so thankful that the majority of your fish are fine!!! I felt so bad for you/your ponds after your first update explaining about the water turkeys, so to hear that the situation is not as bad as you thought is absolutely wonderful! I'll be wishing for lots of rain for you, and the survival of some of your future plants!!!
I am also relieved and hope your plans for the ponds can go forward!
Water turkeys are ugly
@@duckquackaudio They are oddly majestic in their own brand of freaky
The sounds of them eating is so satisfying.
I love when they swim with their little duck feet. When my twin sister and I were young we had 2 white ducks. Smurf and Smurfette. And even though we lived right next to a pond, they were quite afraid of water
they confused but they got the spirit
Duckweed has the ability to grow over the whole lake. Makes it hard for fish to thrive. Hope they get it all. Great vids thank you
You got it the ducked an get out of hand.
Makes it hard for fish to thrive ?
On the contrary, It helps fish thrive. Duckweed provide shade and shelter, Absorbs excess nutrients from water like which is toxic for fish and considered a food source for some species.
@@krimativity8526BUT it can destroy lakes or ponds also. I never said it didnt have any benefits
Ecological Importance
In the wild, duckweed is an important source of food for fish and waterfowl. Duckweed provides a habitat for certain types of frogs and fish. It also maintains the habitat by providing enough shade to keep the growth of oxygen-robbing algae down.
Problems
Duckweed multiplies rapidly. It may spread from pond to pond on the feathers of waterfowl. When duckweed completely covers a pond, it will block light from reaching other plants that live within the pond which in some cases leads to fish kills.
Ah yes the magical duckweed, ducks really love that kinda stuff, good thing they’re eating it.
I think we all know why they love it lol
u suggesting this thing is legal to do? 😂
@@internetduck1114 ducks they love it we may get sick from eating that kind of grass
@@dieformanise2027 No, duckweed is actually edible and very good for you. I hear it tastes like spinach.
I'm a city dweller so I don't get to see things like this too often except at the local city zoo. Appreciate all you do and will continue to support your cause.
I'm glad you get to see such things, even if it's only online. Obviously, I love nature videos, too, but I'm also lucky in real life. I live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet and get to spend a great deal of time exploring it. It is not hyperbole to say nature saved my life.
Recent studies show we humans _need_ contact with nature. Although watching videos is neat, there seems to be a real need for engaging in person. Can you go to parks? Even a small amount of contact with greenery and scenery can be of immense help.
I wish you nothing but happiness.
Your local zoo… has ducks… ducks are literally everywhere in London. So thankful to live in such a green city.
That duckweed is going to spread all over your pond before you know it 😂🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️
This man. Voluntarily. Introduced a duckweed into his pond.
It seems... unwise, from an armchair ecologist's perspective.
Anyone else find the sound of ducks eating soothing, like ASMR soothing?
You are special, I love your pond, ducks, fish. God bless you.👍👌👏💗
Who here misses tank keep in mind he was the go pro turtle and gave us a tour of the old pond
Tank's in the old pond
he said he will find him in Winter but bro is way over Winter
imagine if he could connect the go pro to his like watch or phone
andto search for tonk/tank
@@Eradicate. Its tank, dumbass.
YAY HE'S BACK
High on duckweed? No, I'm high on quack!
Good to see you upload again!
Careful man if that duckweed takes off its gonna take over the pond. It's common in the aquarium hobby and good lord does it grow fast
what do you mean by "takes off"?
@@internetduck1114 grows in an insane rate
@@internetduck1114 fast growing
ah I see
the turtles would keep it in check
The ducks are so cute 😍
We have missed your videos!
Your content is awesome! I really enjoyed watching your videos feeding the fish, turtles, gars, and ducks. Keep up the great work!
DUCK WEED.
Get them ducks HIGH !!!
lol
I do love watching and hearing the ducks eating. Also so thankful that most of"our"fish survived. That's great news. Don't let it get you down fish whisper. We're all here for you.
Yaaay!! :)
I love watching your videos!!
I had some ducks when i was younger, and they were amazing little pets! I love listening to them sift through the water for food. Lol.
Good to see the ducks; they are looking great. Hoping you feel better. Take care, and be well. Thanks for sharing the video.
Beautiful ducks😍
Ducks like "Duckweed", who would have thought........ LOL and RIP pond surface.
Glad to see you uploading again.
I miss the turtles 🐢🐢🐢 they were my favorite
Missed you so much my friend 🤍✌🏽🕊
This dude's gonna lose his mind when he finds out about cats and catnip
Thanks for posting your videos! They are so calming and I can tell you really love and care for your animals.
71👍's up fish whisper thanks for taking us all along with you for the great show
Those ducks sure were hungry
Any duckweed dealer knows the first hit is always free 😎😏
Love Ducks!! 💛💛
The ducks are just so sweet!! They have a good life at ur ponds!!! 🦆🦆
It's so therapeutic just listening to ducks munch on food. Thanks!
Hello and happy new year! I have Missed this. A lot. Thanks for posting an update.
A bunch of this stuff starts growing in our pond every spring and the wood ducks that use our nesting box love it. We used to feed them corn but we really don't have to anymore.
هل هذه طحالب خضراء
Ducks are happy ☺
Yeah!!!! Not all of the fish are gone! I have been watching since before you were naming the turtles. Your videos are fantastic!
Happy to see a video of you again! Missed it!!
Duckweed for Ducks is what catnip is to cats and love the sounds they make
Agree, and also marijuana weed for humans
I will hunker down like the gar and wait for warmer weather. It was -22 below zero Sunday morning. Northern New York is where "Old Man Winter" hangs out 😁.
someone: duckweed
aquarium hobbyists: *war flashbacks*
the nibbling is so cute
So cool to see the boys getting their adult plumage... and to think they wouldn't be here at all without you!
Been watching these vids a few years now. To this day, still wholesome as fuck.
Thanks for the update! Good to see the mallards. Take care this winter! Look forward to more of your videos.
Found your channel, enjoy your calm voice and demeanor. I'm really a fish person but do enjoy your other videos regarding ducks/turtles etc. Hope you make more.
So glad to hear the ponds are surviving! Best update
The ducks got some good bud today
Shocker! Knowing this changes everything.
🤗 Cute ducks!
Can’t be mad at them for eating the plants, they’re so cute.
Ducks fiending on that duckweed
glad to see you back!
Love the duck
The legend returns!
I’m glad to see you are doing good. Thank You so much for sharing these satisfying videos.🦆🐢🐟
Omg you finally uploaded how is your fish and turtles doing?
all the fish got eaten by turkey vultures i think
Thanks for the update. Thought you threw in the towel there for a minute
Nice more duckies
I like weed too, your duck are cool that's cool
That drake is beautiful 🤩
that pond is gonna be covered in duckweed now. good luck thinning it out, even with actual ducks
Amazing, so glad to see one of your vids. Love and missed your content man.
I LOVE YOUR TURTLES LOVE POPSICLES VIDEO!!! I hope that skittle and m&m are fine!
Whenever you post it genuinely makes me so happy
So glad to hear good news about your fish, that more survived than you initially thought. Love the ducklings eating the duckweed.
Beautiful Ducks.🦆🦆🦆🐟🙏✝️👑❤️❤️❤️
Yay i love seeing an upload from you!
Duck weed spreads pretty fast, at least for the aquarium hobbyists it does, it could probably take over a pond if you put enough in lol
It may naturally grow in your pond if the ducks didn't eat it all.
to be fair it wold be a good cover for the fish from the birds
serves as good heat dissipation too to keep the water from evaporating
It grows very fast in water with high levels of Nitrates and Phosphates, i.e , polluted water and in a hot humid weather conditions, since it's winter and these ponds seems to be clean , so it's not going to take over so easily.
That’s great news! Thanks for the update and things will get better.
Hens love roosters. Geese love ganders. Everyone else loves Ned Flanders!
Homer: Not ME!
Everyone who counts loves Ned Flanders!
Wrong vid :|
Aww I love how cute are the ducks 🦆 ❤️🥹
Happy eating noises!
So glad your bass and catfish made it through 🤎
I love how the ducks have imprinted to you
I would say majority of your ducks either found their own mate and flew off to breed because that is what most likely drives all different species of birds to leave its flock
YES I tried this with my ducks a couple years ago. Ducks LOVE this stuff
hatch some more ducks. They are very entertaining and fun to watch.
I'm thankful that there are still plenty of fish left. They need more cover for sure. Sink some stuff or haul in some rocks.
Glad to see you make another video
I feel ur pain(winter time)!Like ur vids.
maybe one day your ducks will have ducklings of their own...always possible...
Glad you are back, sorry about your fish, where are the turtles? Did I miss a video?
I think it might be too cold for them to eat or move around, I believe they may brumate or hibernate?
I have geese at my local lake. I take the peaches that have fallen off my tree that are bruised in the summer and cut them up and the geese love them.
Great to see a video again. 💕
Put some in a tub or basin outside in the sun, and you have a never-ending supply. Many fish eat it as well.
I loved their reaction at first. Cautious, but curious. Then insanely hungry.
Yay you're back
Their eating is so cute
I love duckweed, cool video
Woohoo! The legend 8s back lets go!
Glad to see the ducks🙂 also glad you did not lose all the fish!
I'm glad a lot of your fish ended up being alright after all!
Good update Kyle, sorry we missed a sighting of the Gar, Catfish and Bass. Take care and God Bless.
Duckweed can take over a pond in the sense that the entire surface will look like it is covered in algae or something similar. We knew of a pond that had to be treated for that to keep it from looking like a swamp. Hopefully you won't have that trouble.
Nice to see your vids again
It's been a minute! Glad to see a new video from you!
