🦆💛 Why Ducks Make a Difference 💛🦆

Did you know our 4 Indian Runner ducks aren’t just adorable to watch – they also bring real benefits to our residents?

For our elderly community and those living with dementia, time spent with the ducks can:
✨ Spark joy, laughter and precious memories
✨ Provide calm, comfort and routine
✨ Encourage gentle activity and fresh air
✨ Create opportunities for social interaction and conversation
✨ Offer sensory stimulation – from their waddles and quacks to collecting their eggs

Indian Runner ducks are especially friendly, entertaining and excellent egg-layers – making them the perfect companions for our extra care community. 🥚🌱

By helping us build them a safe new home, you’re not just supporting our feathered friends – you’re also helping to bring happiness, connection and wellbeing to the people who care for them. 💕

🦆✨ Exciting news from the “duck nursery” at Bowland View!

For the past few weeks, we’ve been carefully tending to a clutch of precious duck eggs — turning them, keeping them cozy, and whispering the occasional “good morning” (because science says they might hear us and who doesn’t like a friendly hello?).

Today, we’ve spotted the very first signs of life — tiny cracks and soft tapping from inside! 🐣💛 It’s like they’re knocking to say, “Hey, we’re on our way!”

Now it’s a waiting game… any day now, these little fluffballs will be making their grand entrance into the world. Stay tuned for the hatch-day photos — We might just melt into a puddle of happy quacks. 🥹💦
