There is quite a duck tail coming out of South Africa's Western Cape.
The Vergenoegd Wine Estates have 800 ducks that roam their vineyards twice a day. What? Why?
These feathered friends pick up and eat the bad bugs that the vineyard would typically have to use a pesticide for. And, without having to use as many pesticides, it keeps the good bugs on the land (see, bugs are good for something). So, by employing these little waddlers, the vineyard is able to use less pesticides and create a more eco-friendly environment and product. I'm certainly okay with that!
Maybe some of the vineyards here can take a cue...
Check out the rest of this adorbly feathered story below. Cheers, Enthusiasts.
