Wild ducks arrive for wintering at Almaty Zoo

Tengrinews.kz - The zoo reported that wild mallard ducks have been arriving in Almaty for wintering for many years.

About three hundred birds gather in the pond in winter.

"We feed waterfowl twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. Our waterfowl's diet includes compound feed, oats, wheat, millet, bread, millet, carrots, cabbage, and lettuce," the zoo said in a statement.

The zoo staff says that the pets - mountain geese, swans, and mute swans - eat first, and the wild ducks wait patiently behind and swim up to the feeder only after.
