Paradise Shelduck duckling
Yesterday I handed this little bird over to a Duck Sanctuary. The lady who runs it had other Paradise ducklings that had been orphaned and I decided it would be better for this little one to be with other ducklings and therefore, not bond with me. A hard decision but for once I let my head rule my heart. Best thing for the little bird. And I hear, she is doing well. This little mite was found in Kerikeri on 18/9/10 separated from its parents. Dear little bird and now eating well. Got my fingers crossed for its survival.
Very cute!
