A family of seven ducklings and a mother mallard have taken up residence in a woman's backyard pool. Although entertaining, it's not suitable for them. The author emphasizes that these wild birds, protected by the Migratory Birds Act, cannot be rehomed. The best course of action is to make the environment less inviting by ceasing to feed them and altering pool conditions, while acknowledging the benefits of a safe and natural habitat for the ducks' well-being.
I have been hosting a family of seven ducklings and a mother mallard duck for about a month and a half in my backyard swimming pool.
But because they are wild birds, not domesticated, they can't be rehomed.
A backyard pool is not the best place for waterfowl. Ducks need three things to be happy: water, food and a place of safety.
The first thing to do is to stop feeding them. The second would be to make the pool less comfortable.
