Watch these rescued ducks go for their first swim in the water. They had been living for years with a hoarder who had them in pens without adequate access to water or proper nutrition. Now, they get to enjoy their natural habitat whenever they want.

by the way they looked at the end. Poor things probably couldn't understand what the oil gland was for.

(I have a mallard. His mate was killed last year and now he's hooked up with a widowed chicken).

My conure (his pal was a cockatiel) has now bonded to me.

That can be kind of painful from time to time.

I hope your chicken and mallard have a good time for a LOOOONGGGG TIME.
