"Out of every place in the world, she chose our second-floor patio."

Generally speaking, most of us don't get a proper glimpse at nature, true nature, from the comfort of our own homes. Us hoomans tend to live next to other hoomans, and that often means that other living creatures might not feel as comfortable engaging with us as they would out in the wild. Living in a city or a town often means that the most nature you will get to experience from your back porch is a pack of fluffy pigeons or a stray cat that will come to visit every so often. Other than that, you will have to venture out of the comfort of your own home to experience the marvels of actual animals living their wild life.

The family who shared the video below was lucky enough to experience this beautiful display of nature from their second-floor patio. It all started when they woke up one day to find 5 duck eggs sitting on their porch chair, waiting for their momma to return. Then, every time the family went back to look, they saw the number of eggs grow bigger and bigger, and the proud mama getting ready to welcome her family right there in their backyard. 

As the duck family grew more in size, the family stayed out of it and allowed mama duck to cheerfully help her babies grow and then eventually hatch. By the time they did, Mama Duck had brought 18 ducklings into the world, all of them getting a first glimpse at the world from this second-floor patio Mama chose as her sanctuary.

Eventually, the hooman family stepped in to help the duckling and their Mama return to the wild, where they would be able to roam and explore the world as freely as they could. They still see the tiny duck family walking around, and they make sure to say hello every time they do…
