Ungrateful creature!

The cute ducklings have grown up and now we have 11 semitame ducks that we feed once aday. The mother is getting a bit full of herself & raced to attack my partner a few days ago when he went out with the feed.She bore down on him wings outstretched & he just stood there & glared at her.. The closer she got the slower she went & finally she closed her wings & stopped & pretended that she hadnt even considered it. She had another go today & launched herself at him & he just put his elbow up & once again she decided it wasn't a good idea..lucky it wasn't me as I don't think I would have stood my ground!  LOL's..
