Our little ducks for our spring portrait sessions will be two weeks old in two short days. The time has flown by and their last official day here is Friday. They have a few more field trips to take to various daycares in Findlay and few more photo sessions to go.
I have learned that they understand the hand that feeds them. When they hear my voice, they get quite vocal – especially in the morning when they haven’t eaten all night.
Birds have a crop where they can temporarily store food. The ducks bodies right now are long and thin – they are not yet adding a lot of meat to their bones. So when they eat, they tend to eat fast and store as much as they can in their crop. As a result, they look like they have swallowed a small ball after they have eaten. For those of you who just have to know more about bird (avian) anatomy, here is a good article.
Here are two images. One is the first day they were here and the second one is today.
