Hello, I'm Liz Zorab and this is Byther Farm and today it's another in my series
of keeping ducks videos because I want to look at Do Ducks Need A Pond?
Ducks need water for drinking to be able to dip their bills into and to snort air
out of their nostrils and clean their air passages in their bills and they
need it for washing as well. They get pleasure in swimming around in it. Ducks
also like to make mud, for that you need water, they like to dibble in the mud
and they filter whatever's in the mud through their bills, find the bits that
they want and discard the rest of it. So ducks don't actually need a large
pond, you can have buckets of water for them to drink from and to be able to
dip their heads into and clean out their nostrils and their air
passages. So a shallow tub is enough for a couple of ducks
to be able to get in, have a wash, have a quick paddle and then carry on with
the rest of their day.
But I'm not sure I'm the best person to tell you about this
I think the best thing do is for my ducks to show you.
