0:01:13 > 0:01:17We're in Huddersfield, to meet Aaron and his pet ducks.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20I love pet ducks and I can't wait to meet them.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- I think I can hear them now. - QUACKING

0:01:22 > 0:01:23Come on!

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Hi, Aaron.- Hi.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- You must be Mum. Hello.- Hi.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39You have so many ducks. It is amazing.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42They're beautiful. And who's this?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Ollie.- Oh, nice to meet you, Ollie.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48He's playing hide and seek.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Is Ollie a girl or a boy?- Boy.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Because he's got green on his head, you can tell he's a boy duck?- Yeah.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Beautiful. Do you know what boy ducks are called?- Drakes.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Male ducks are called drakes,

0:02:00 > 0:02:04and female ducks are called ducks or sometimes hens.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08- And what are baby ducks called? - Ducklings.- I love ducklings.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- What breed of duck is Ollie? - A call duck.- Call duck.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14What's your favourite thing about Ollie?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17He loves cuddles and I love cuddles.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19I've never met a cuddly duck before.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Ollie's a call duck. What other types of ducks do you have?

0:02:23 > 0:02:27We've got the whistling ones, and the Cayugas and Carolinas.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30They're gorgeous. I really like them.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Do you know what a group of ducks is called?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- A paddling.- Oh!- Which is really good, isn't it?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Cos ducks love to paddle in the water.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Do your ducks paddle in the water? - Yes. A lot.- I bet Ollie loves it.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46Rory, can you tell us more facts about our quacky friends here?

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Of course, Ferne.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Ducks love water and they are very good swimmers.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56They have webbed feet that act like paddles,

0:02:56 > 0:02:59and push them through the water.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02While ducks like to eat lots of different things,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04like grass and insects,

0:03:04 > 0:03:08they shouldn't eat too much bread, as it can make them poorly.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11So if you're feeding the ducks why not try peas?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14But make sure they aren't still frozen.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19There are lots of different types of ducks.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Some are different colours, some are quiet, some are loud,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27some even have fancy feathers on their heads.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Most ducks quack and the female ducks are often louder than the male ducks.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33RORY QUACKS

0:03:37 > 0:03:39A duck's feathers are waterproof.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41They have a special waxy coating,

0:03:41 > 0:03:45which helps keep their bodies nice and cosy and dry.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- DUCKS QUACK - Ducks are very social animals,

0:04:00 > 0:04:04and they enjoy being surrounded by other duck friends.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07They can make great pets but need a lot of care and attention.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12When you have as many as Aaron does, there's always work to be done.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14What do we need to do to look after your ducks?

0:04:14 > 0:04:19We need to fill up their ponds, feed them and collect their eggs.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23That sounds like a lot of work. Should we get QUACKING? Come on!

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Excuse me, ducks!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Wow.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39What do they need the rocks for, Aaron?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41For them to go in.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Or just hop in.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think you should do it over there.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- At the back? - Yeah, at the back, there.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- And how full do we have to make it? - As full as possible.- Right.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58It takes a while to fill up, doesn't it? I like all the bubbles.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01It's kind of like a pond Jacuzzi, isn't it?

0:05:01 > 0:05:07- And what do the ducks do when they go into the water?- Swim.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- That's enough. - Is this enough water?- Yes.- OK.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Let's get some duckweed.- Yeah.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25That's duckweed.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Do they eat it?- They love it and it's good for them.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Is it kind of like a duck salad? - Yes.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32And where do we put the duckweed?

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- In the ponds.- Wow. So they swim and they eat it?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40It's important for ducks to have enough fresh, clean water to drink.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Water also helps them to swallow their food.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45How's that food looking? Good?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Shall we go give it to the ducks? - Yep.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Shall we put the duckweed in?- Yeah.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07There you go, ducks. Whoa!

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Let's get the ducks in.- Yeah! They're going to love it!

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Look, look, look! Here they come!

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Come on, ducks!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20DUCKS QUACK

0:06:20 > 0:06:22FERNE LAUGHS

0:06:28 > 0:06:31They've been looking forward to that bath.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33And they're munching all that duckweed.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37The ducks look really happy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Shall we go see if they laid any eggs?- Yeah!

0:06:50 > 0:06:52One! Two!

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Where else are there eggs? - I think down here.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03That's it.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06That's it? That's all of them?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Let's go.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Good job, Aaron. We got loads of eggs. What are we doing now?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16- We're going to the poultry show. - A poultry show? That's exciting.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Poultry is a word given to ducks, geese and chickens,

0:07:20 > 0:07:23that can be used as pets or for their eggs and farming.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27A poultry show is a competition where birds compete for awards.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30It sounds like fun. What do we need to do?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32First we need to give them a bath.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Give who a bath? Give Ollie the bath?

0:07:34 > 0:07:39- That's going to be fun. Should we give it a go?- Yeah.- OK. Come on.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49It's bath-time for Ollie. He got muddy in the garden,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52and we need to make sure that he looks at his best.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54We need to make sure his bill and feet are clean.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Shall I pick him up and you can wash his feet?- Yes.- OK.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Excuse me, Ollie.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Wow! That's if you can get them!

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Ducks have amazing waterproof feathers -

0:08:06 > 0:08:09just as well, because they love water.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Please don't do this with ducks at your local duck pond,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14they won't like it like Ollie does.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Are his feet nice and clean?- Yes.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20- And what about his bill? - Very nice and clean.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24We'll put him back in and he can have more of a splash around.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28I think he's looking really good. Should we dry him now? OK.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29I'll get the towel.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Ooh! We should be gentle, shouldn't we, with his feathers?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I think he likes this.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- CHILDREN:- My Pet And Me!

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Now Ollie's nice and clean we're ready for the show.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Are you looking forward to it?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Yeah.- It's going to be so much fun, isn't it?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I think he's excited. - OLLIE QUACKS

0:08:54 > 0:08:59If your ducks could do anything in the world, what would they do?

0:09:02 > 0:09:07If my ducks could do anything, they would dig into the ground.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10They'll find dinosaur bones.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15They would put them together and bring the dinosaur to life.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21And we'll all have a feast of giant peas and sweet corn.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38There you go, Ollie.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Ollie is ready in his cage and the judges will be here soon.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46So, Aaron and I are going to have a look around.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Duck eggs are usually larger than chicken eggs,

0:09:56 > 0:09:59and they can come in lots of different colours,

0:09:59 > 0:10:02from white, grey, blue, green and even black.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- That looks like the one earlier. - Yeah, that is.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08That's like one of your Cayuga's ones, isn't it?

0:10:08 > 0:10:13Really, really lovely colour. Shall we have a look around?

0:10:13 > 0:10:16The judges are measuring and weighing the eggs,

0:10:16 > 0:10:21to decide which ones are the best quality and deserve a prize.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Oh, Aaron, I think the judge is ready!

0:10:34 > 0:10:38So, we've got a chicken and three ducks.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Look, she checks their wings.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42What does she look for?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Nice good long feathers. Look, she's going to check his feet.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50And his bill. His bill's good and clean. We made sure of that.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- She's taking out the bigger one. - Cayuga.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56She's taking out a Cayuga. You've got some of those, don't you?

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Now it's the chicken. That's a very small chicken, isn't it?

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I hope Ollie wins. Do you?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06If he does, I'll be well surprised.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Because he is a bit young, isn't he?

0:11:08 > 0:11:13So he doesn't have all of his coloured feathers yet, does he?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16The judges are making up their minds

0:11:16 > 0:11:18on who is going to win best waterfowl.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Yay! That's Ollie! High five!

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yay! Well done to him.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31What a good duck. Are you happy?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I am delighted!

0:11:33 > 0:11:38Right, the best juvenile has been won tonight

0:11:38 > 0:11:41by Aaron and his duck Ollie.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well done. Very good.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Congratulations, Aaron and Ollie. You won!

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Are you happy?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- OLLIE QUACKS - I think he's happy!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03You did such a great job. Well done, Ollie.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I love you, Ollie.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08You're the best.
