I love, love, love ducks. I could happily watch them for hours - now that's sad!

I remember treating an oiled cormorant about 12 years ago - he has a very distinctive white patch on one of his wings, he is called Sid and hangs around the 'Fishing Heritage Centre' at Grimsby (not where he was released - he moves between there and Alexandra Dock which is where he was realeased) - He is still there and incredibly tame. I dont know how long cormorants live but he was an adult when I treated him. and he has a ring so we know it is the same bird. Will see If I can find some piccies of him

Aww you are all really good looking after baby birds!

I hope it takes my friends mind off her cat, as she's probably got to have him pts this week

I would loooooove some chickens too, but we'll have to get a bigger garden before that!

I was trying to find Brian but came across these little ones while looking, so thought I would upload them

Brian is a Mallard I saved a few years ago while Locuming In Derbyshire (Loubylou) will remember.. anyway I ended up bringing him back to Scotland to a sanctuary, where he now lives in an open topped pen(so is free to come and go as he pleases) with a Hareem of Ladies.

He was recused from a pond in Buxton, where the other older Males were trying to drown him, because there were very few females, and loads of males, so basically he was competition,the poor thing was al;most lifeless when plucked form the pond and had no feathers on his head from the constant duckings he had had from the other males.

I drove home with him( 5 1/2 hours in the car in a basket and he was so good, never got stressed at all. Now he is living the life of Riley

Some baby birds I took home and syringe fed after their mother was killed by a cat.

I operated on a 'stray' duck (Aylesbury) today - cute little blighter! I like ducks! Well, all fowl actually. Got a bit addicted since I got my chucks. Sad really.

Years ago, I found 4 ducklings and took them home as they were soooo cute. I told my OH that they were too young to go outside so they lived in our living room (in purpose built accomodation) until we coudn't stand the mess/smell any longer.

OH built an ouside enclosure and by the time that they left us the garden was ruined. I thought that I would get too attached but, funnily enough, didn't.

It was a lovely feeling when we released them at our local lake and it made it all worth while.
