Mr. Pickles

By Chris R.


Mr Pickles is a Pekin duck, coming to the Valley as a young, fluffy teenager. He was very well loved and cared for, but had outgrown his accommodation in a suburban family home, where he had lived after being rescued from a busy marketplace. 

 


Mr Pickles settled into Sanctuary life quickly, investigating his new lamb friends in the lounge room and the recovering hens resting in the warmth of the hall.  


Mr Pickles loves joining us in the kitchen for a snack of fresh greens or climbing atop the piles of laundry awaiting folding. He is growing quickly and already has his adult feathers coming through. In the coming weeks he will meet our family of three other Pekins, where he can enjoy a pond and new duck company.
