This home’s quackers... Duck builds nest in hanging basket
WHEN a duck named Petunia needed a home for her family, she knew just where to go.
She built her nest in a hanging basket outside a housing association’s offices in Burton, Staffs, and out hatched eight adorable ducklings.
Sue Howard, of Trent and Dove Housing, said: “We are more used to finding homes for people. But we were so excited by the ducks.”
Now wildlife experts have found the family a more permanent home in the nearby River Trent.
