Make way as this tiny duckling waddles into the spotlight, ready to charm us with its playful antics! Ducks, with their vibrant plumage and cheerful quacks, epitomize the rural idyll, but they are also found in urban environments. When ducklings arrive in spring, they steal the show. Tiny and fluffy, they follow their mothers dutifully, learning the ways of water with each paddle and peck. And by feeding on insects and algae, they are also helping to keep aquatic ecosystems in balance.
