Sounds good. would not do anything until spring anyway. Another question, we have been feeding it Mazuri waterfowl food. It seems to like it and eats a full bowl (like a cool whip bowl) every night at 4:30pm. Is that enough food? How many pounds a day should it eat?

Also it still sleeps on the ice away from the fountain and leantoo house with its feed. It seems very cold in the mornings. Has a melted water hole under it when it gets up. Thought it was frozen in agaain this morning. Would straw help in the leantoo? Today it was over at the neighbors, I went over and shook it bowl with feed and it came walking over (about 60 yards). Every 20 feet or so it would get tired and set down and rest then get up and start walking again. It also shakes its head alot. Is this common? Comments?
