I love when they are in motion - the ducklings form a moving mass and follow after their mom like they are very little kids and she’s an RV-sized soccer ball.
It was so adorable; I think I’ve only ever seen a duck and their ducklings like that once before, and not in water. When they got a little too far behind the mass would speed up and slow down in unison it was so cool to watch
The other day I watched a vid of a mother duck and her chicks in an elementary school hallway. The kids were standing at the wall as the mom walked at a fast clip and her duckling mass followed close behind. They eventually got to a door and went outside. What surprised me most is how quiet the kids were. It’s like they where watching a tiny but very important parade.
