Ducks return to favourite pub with baby ducklings
Sinia JawziTwo ducks who became regulars at a local pub have returned to their favourite watering hole with a brood of ducklings.
Donald and Daisy have been popping in to Sinia's in South Shields for a bite to eat for the last two months and even got into the habit of pecking on the window to get the staff's attention.
On Tuesday, Daisy returned to the pub - but this time she had a family of six ducklings in tow.
Landlady Sinia Jawzi said the parents must feel safe to bring their "adorable" offspring to the pub.
She first spotted the pair outside the bar on Prince George Square and gave them some food and water.
She now feeds them organic duck food and said the babies loved to eat mealworms.
The new arrivals have also been given names - Daphne, Daffodil, Delilah, Dewey, Dixie and Daffy.
Jawzi said she had hoped Daisy would bring the baby's to the pub but thought it was unlikely.
When the family turned up, she said everyone in the pub had stopped what they were doing to watch.
"They are a huge part of the pub now," Jawzi said. "As I walk through the town centre and go on public transport, people ask how they are doing."
