baby ducks

Disgusting substance of the day: Mealworm goo. My boss said that once a baby bird had been fed mealworms and they didn't die inside the bird, but instead ate their way out of the baby bird, killing it, so she recommended "crushing the heads" of the mealworms. I don't like crushing bugs (I didn't realize this was something I'm squeamish about until today) but I wanted to feed the baby ducks some mealworms. So I snipped their heads off with the poultry shears that we use to chop mice up with. (You know, I was hoping someone would link to this post to [livejournal.com profile] baaaaabyanimals but now I think those people wouldn't want to read this part.) So when I picked up these decapitated mealworms to feed the baby ducks, their sticky white mealworm goo got on my hands, so that's my disgusting substance of the day. Then I found five dollars.

On this day in 365 urban species: Wolf's milk. I actually saw my first wolf's milk of the year this week. (but I didn't photograph it) :(

In these videos: do the baby ducks waddle, per chance?

If so, Sir, you are doing all of us a disservice to intimate any disinterest on our parts.

Are you sure about the mealworm thing?? Sounds off to me. I can check at work tomorrow, if you wnat.

My husband would love you forever if you posted a video. In a, you know, MANLY way. The way men love each other when one posts baby duck videos for the other one...

You SO need to come to the zoo in a month or two, when we have flamingo chicks. We hand-raise them, which is really cute in the beginning but gets old once they'r bigger and the formula gets grosser and they eat more. That's one in my icon.

Baby duckies!!! SUPER CUTE!!! :) I wuv them...
Yea that story about the mealworms makes sense since birds don't chew their food...how icky though! I'm glad my beardie chews his worms, I don't like smooshing/cutting off heads either...
