Its raining ducks!! Ha, ha, ha! So cute!!! This just proves that ducks can count, especially mother ducks! Absolutely adorable creatures, warms the heart so see them paddling frantically, close to Mum. I cannot imagine how 23 ducks + Mum can fit into this tiny box!

If this is your box, thank you for your beautiful service to nature. Wood ducks are becoming increasingly rare. This is a beautiful video!

No silly music. No shaky cam. Love to watch nature unfold in its purest form. :)

She checked if it was safe before she called her babies to fly down, so beautiful

The way they don't hesitate to dive from so high and immediatly swim behind their mother, pure animals instinct.

That's quite the sizable brood she has there! What a good idea to place the nesting box right above the water, to save them the trek through the forest to get there! And how wonderful that you were able to get it all on video! Thank you!

While I knew that the babies jump from the box I have never seen it before. This video really warms the heart. Thanks for posting it. So adorable!

Those baby's are fast and according to their size and the height they had to jump from they are not
Awesome video

That one at 7:12 that was catching up, kicked so hard it was picking up out the water. Reminds me of a muscle car popping up on two wheels during take off. I don't understand how people can hunt these beautiful creatures. Thanks a lot to responsible hunters and conservationists for helping to bring these marvelous animals back from the brink. It's a hard life for ducks and ducklings.

Didn't know they are reared in a box. I have adults on my pond so now I have a box to build. Thanks for the video.

[roccco]

Awesome!
These cute ducklings literally and bravely thought outside the box.

[lindahayes]

I love the natural world so much. It keeps me on track. On another note, what mom could be in a cramped space with 23 babies who are ready to roll? She had to jump. And they had to jump. Worked out great for all of them.

Wow. That is pretty cool. I’d love to see that. That is the cutest thing ever. Wherever momma goes the little ducks follow relentlessly...love it. Mother nature is something special.
