00:00I think I might buy an incubator and just give it a go.

00:03There was no nest, there was no other eggs,

00:06and I thought, okay, there's no way that this thing is going to survive.

00:10It's just an egg, but I'm attached.

00:12It can live in a dormant state without being warm for three weeks,

00:17so it's okay until the incubator arrives.

00:20And it was straight to business and hope that something might happen.

00:25Day five, I'm going to have a look and see.

00:30Oh, my God.

00:33Oh, my God.

00:35Oh, it's like so alive.

00:38It's moving, it's moving.

00:40It was just clear as day.

00:42There's an eye, there's an eye.

00:44Do you see the dark dot?

00:45I'm not religious, but let me tell you, it's a miracle.

00:50I could see this very clear outline of the most gorgeous little round bill.

00:55I now know it's a duck because I saw the bill.

00:58Oh, it's really gone for you. Strong. Strong, baby. Well done.

01:01The difficult thing is you have to let them do it on their own.

01:04Just to monitor and watch and be patient is really hard for me.

01:09I eventually passed out.

01:11At 4.51 a.m., I heard the tweets.

01:17Oh, wow.

01:21Hello, baby. Nice to meet you. Oh, my God.

01:24There was just this little wet alien staring back at me.

01:28I think I'm going to call him Spike. Spike.

01:30Oh, he's responding to it.

01:32It was love of her sight.

01:33My gorgeous one-day-old rescue duckling is finally ready to leave the incubator,

01:38so I'm going to make the most epic duck digs that ever were.

01:41I'm calling it Duckingham Palace.

01:43My son will not only survive, but he shall thrive.

01:47Number one, mirrors.

01:49Just like the online reports, he started to interact with his sibling.

01:54Two, the surrogate teddy duck.

01:56He looks, learns, and then tries it for himself.

01:59Yes.

02:00My child is a genius.

02:02And three, having some quack.

02:06Mixing in the duck whistle and also ducky sounds on my laptop.

02:10He just felt right at home.

02:11It's just such a fulfilling process to watch a small being learn.

02:21We go for daily park walks to experience the great outdoors.

02:27He's swimming with me.

02:29He's foraging with me.

02:34There's only so much I can do for him.

02:41They grow so fast, it's almost frightening.

02:46I think you're ready to go.

02:49Oh, God, my heart is actually aching.

02:52He's going to go to the most amazing rehabilitation place to integrate into a flock, learn how to properly be a duck.

03:06To know that he's that emerald green head, I was just like so excited.

03:15He will learn to fly and decide himself on whether he stays in this beautiful open-air place, or he'll fly away and be truly, fully wild.

03:26We humans are just here to kind of help him along, but ultimately, he's the master of his own destiny.

03:35It'll take me a while to recover from the absence of his energy.

03:39It feels silly because it's a duck, but he's the greatest gift.

03:46You know, this little thing changed my life.

03:49Oh, God.
