Do You Want To Own Pet Ducks At Home?
If you are blessed with a backyard or a huge garden, why dont you own a pet duck? This beautiful bird is a great companion for your backyard and they are great pets too. Looking after a pet duck is more or less the same process of looking after a kitten. When it comes to pet ducks it is very important that you opt for a pair. Ducks do not like the companion of oneself. They love to quack about with their kind of species right through the day and this is the sound of music to one's ears.
These social birds need housing that meets their behavioural, social and physical needs. They are ofcourse very intelligent and curious birds which require ample amount of space to move around freely. Access to bird food and a small pond in your backyard will do.
To look after pet ducks, here are some tips which might be of great help to you to get started.
Fence
Until
they
are
two
years
old,
ducks
are
not
allowed
to
walk
about
freely.
Ducklings
should
be
taken
extra
care
of.
You
need
to
see
if
they
have
ample
amount
of
food
and
clean
water.
A
bed
of
hay
with
a
heat
lamp
is
also
required
for
them
to
keep
warm.
Their
pen
needs
to
be
covered
with
a
thick
sheeting
on
top
so
that
they
are
prevented
from
heavy
rain
and
wind.
Thick
mesh
around
the
fence
will
help
the
ducks
not
to
wander
away
on
their
own
and
to
also
prevent
predators.
If
you
own
a
mother
duck
as
well,
put
her
in
the
pen
along
with
her
ducklings.
Do
not
separate
them.
Clean
pond
When
they
are
old
enough
to
come
out
of
the
fence.
Make
sure
that
their
pond
is
ready
with
fresh
water.
Your
pet
duck
needs
to
be
kept
in
a
pond
that
has
water
which
can
cover
their
whole
body.
Ducks
need
a
lot
of
water
to
keep
their
eyes,
feet,
feather
and
bills
in
good
condition.
The
duck's
pond
should
be
shallow
so
that
your
pet
duck
can
come
out
easily
if
they
happen
to
climb
in.
If
you
have
a
swimming
pool
at
home,
ducks
love
to
make
the
best
use
of
it.
If
you
do
not
want
your
pet
duck
to
take
a
dip
in
your
pool,
cover
the
pool
with
a
mesh.
Feeds
All
you
need
is
duck
food
which
is
readily
available
in
pet
shops.
To
maintain
a
sense
of
discipline
with
your
pet
ducks,
train
them
in
such
a
way,
so
that
they
know
pen
equals
food.
Feeding
them
in
their
pen
is
easier
for
the
owner,
since
pet
ducks
give
a
lot
of
trouble
when
it
comes
to
feeding.
Do
not
over
feed
your
pet
duck.
If
you
have
given
them
their
daily
feed
and
they
are
still
hungry
give
them
a
very
small
portion
once
again.
Protection
Ducks
have
predators.
Make
sure
that
your
pet
duck
is
away
from
cats
and
dogs.
