Re: black-bellied whistling tree ducklings - advice please
In my life, I've had rabbits (store-bought), hamsters, innumerable cats (3 currently, all indoor-only) and a few dogs, and the occasional turtle that was relocated from near a street to our backyard where it'd wander away in a few days seeking the pond in the greenbelt behind my parent's house.
Birds, I feed (bird seed and suet feeders), but don't keep or hassle other than to relocate a fallen nestling back into its nest before. I have a purple martin house up, and a half dozen bird feeders. I see squirrels daily, and raccoons or opossum or skunk a couple times a week (floodplain/greenbelt behind our yard -- they don't have far to wander from the 'wild'). Have seen babies of all types, and they move on. They make it through hailstorms, hot weather, you name it. Nature's tougher than humans give her credit for, usually.
