Yeah, Fiona, I was pretty worried for a while but the mother did a marvelous job in protecting all of those ducklings. Marvelous creatures, those Mamas!
one duckling was in trouble from the start, i knew it from the distress chirp.. comfortable ducklings near their mom dont cry like that..maybe it was stuck somewhere far
Hi Ralte and thanks for your comment. I also noticed one of the ducklings was in distress. It indeed had a cry of distress but with time, that cry abated. It seemed to have a more normal call by the end of the video sequence.
Mallard ducklings are amazing little birds and I love the way their mothers are so protective of them. I also love their waterproof down some of which they get from their mother.
hey there - i was hoping you might give me permission to use this clip in a non commercial indie short film I'm making. Would greatly appreciate if so and of course will credit your channel. Thanks very much. -Matt
@@Lejun40 Thank you Lewis. I cannot credit you during the shot but rather in the end credits. As you can imagine that may be slightly distracting haha. Let me know if that is OK. WIll be happy to send a link when finished. Thanks again for replying! -Matt
So glad to see all the ducklings lived “happily ever after” snuggling-up to Mummy duck to keep warm. Phew!

Yes, Elva, all 12 ducklings survived the attack by the Canada Goose, thanks to the protection offered by the hen!
