How duck 'soldiers' became this 300-year-old winemaker's secret weapon

Ducks have patrolled Vergenoegd Löw The Wine Estate since the 1980s in a fowl feeding frenzy that keeps pests at bay.

LOL First i thought that the owner of this vineyard was all quacked up with this quacky idea. But I seen in different places in California doing something like this but with goats and sheep.

When my father-in-law died, my mother-in-law felt insecure living alone in a very rural area. She considered a dog, but a friend convinced her to get two geese instead. Since she had a farm pond just behind the house, she bought the "watch geese."

The geese turned out to be both aggressive and loud, they would literally chase visitors. I hated those geese.

This was such a fun quick video. I never knew about using ducks to clear bug pests. A great idea.
