In recent days there have been widespread reports of common Australian ducks behaving in a manner not typically associated with the species.
Ducks have been documented exhibiting extraordinary levels of energy, strength, and endurance. This un-duck-like behaviour has been linked by ornithologists to our new Wonder Performance bread.
As we are accountable for the welfare of these ducks it is our intention to monitor the situation, give updates, and seek to provide solutions as we can.
With their new found energy and endurance, many ducks have been embarking on ‘super-migrations’, and flying thousands of miles outside their home range. Where possible, we’ve tagged some ducks with GPS tracking devices. To see their current whereabouts, click the location reports below.
