  1. Part of her beauty is all the great & healthy food you have been giving her (not to mention care & attention). Nice job! She’s gorgeous!

  2. She is a lovely specimen and “Honey” is a great name.

    I wanted to introduce you to another insect food. It is a healthier alternative to mealworms, but I don’t know if they’re more expensive or not. I feed them to my turtles and they love them, but they are marketed more towards food for chickens and ducks.

    Anyway, they are dried soldier fly larvae. Here’s the link on Amazon.

      3. One wonders what other species of bug the reviewer had eaten, to be able to make the comparison.

  3. Do ducks not get enough protein from corn and peas, which imho taste much better than mealworms?

      1. According to my calculations, there are 45 grams of protein in a cup of meal worms, 8 grams in peas and 5 grams in corn.

        1. I’m getting the mealworms soon. But I’m sure honey eats insects, snails, and fish when I’m not feeding her veggies this week. I’ve seen her snapping at minnows and insects.

          1. I love ducks and I find the sound of quacking pleasant. I admit though that I do something my wife and others think is kind of weird. When I see a wild animal, usually a deer, and it spots me, I quack at it and it seems to calm them. They will look at me curiously (you would too) and allow me to walk a little closer. It recently worked with a family of beautiful fox, a mother and two kits, that is living in our next door neighbor’s yard. I know it’s odd, but no other sound works as well as a quack. I’m not trying to pull anyone’s leg, but I also don’t think my quack is going to start trending either.

  5. Nice photos… all you need is to see some fish under the water to turn it into an Escher-like “Three Worlds” view!

    1. I wonder how much better looking that duck would be if Donald Trump fed it. Nobody feeds ducks as well as Donald Trump! Nobody!

  10. Lucky duck!
    You’ve named her…she’s yours now.

    What are the chances she’ll bring a mate back and raise her first brood of ducklings there?
