Two videos showing the young Musk Ducks at Yerrabi Pond being fed yabbies yesterday. At times the yellow front half of the lower mandible of the young birds is visible. The young seem to have trouble with the size of the yabbies and the female appears to assist in both videos. In the first video the female ends up eating the front half of the yabby presumably because the young birds were unable to cope with it.
