Parent Ducks Are Feeling Worried (1 Viewer)

Parents ducks have their young ducklings for to care for and defend
Against crows and magpies and other predators none to them does seem a friend
To the hungry kookaburra they would make a tasty treat
A downy young and tender duckling would be very nice to eat.

Parenting in the wild kingdom for parents can be a cause for stress
Loss of young to the predators a cause for great unhappiness
like humans they mourn for their dead offsprings they too feel the need to grieve
You know nothing about Nature if such you cannot believe.

Parent ducks are feeling worried wary of the pale eyed crow
If given half a chance they would kill and eat their babies of such they do clearly know
They too have their young to care for in their stick nest in a tree nearby
And their babies are quite hungry all day long for food they cry.

On a pleasant October evening not too warm or not too cool
Ten tiny brown and yellow ducklings swimming in the Townpark pool
Oblivious to the danger to them that their stressed parents do see
Pale eyed crows nearby are watching from low branch of blackwood tree.
