Papa Duck Protecting Babies From Uni Student

Occurred on September 11, 2025 / South Australia, Australia

Info from Licensor: "I was at my university when I spotted a big family of ducklings and their parents. At one point I noticed they were all hanging out in a bush and thought they were going to come out onto the path so naturally I got my phone out to record the cute encounter. The ducklings all tumbled out of the bush, and I stepped back to give them a little more space while recording them. One of the adult ducks (who I assumed is the father, given the colors of him) walked out from around the bush, and must have decided that I was standing a little too close to his babies, resulting in him flying at me and flapping around on my shoulder in an attempt to scare me away! Now I keep my distance! Credit: Izzy Rose"
