It all starts with imprinting

My ducklings love me. They saw me first when they hatched. They saw me feed and water them. They fell asleep with me watching. For weeks they were my tiny shadows. They peep and came to me when I called.

It is a gift to be so loved.

They Grow Up So Fast

One day, that’s it. They’re through needing all of those things. They turn away and even run away.

They head to the pond and they become their own flock.

That’s just how it is with ducklings.
