THE sales team at a Cheshire housing development have been busy feeding a popular couple on the estate - a pair of mallards - who have decided not to self-isolate.

Staff named the two ducks, who have decided to move in on the site, that comes complete with a pond, Donald and Daisy and even married the pair.

Every day they waddle up to the sales centre at Kings Quarter, Stretton, near Warrington, where they are given something to tasty to eat

Residents at the development have become very fond of their ‘pets’, watching them on the pond at the development and exploring the surrounding countryside.

A spokesman said: “We love Donald and Daisy, they visit every day and we have even married them.

“Donald even lets Daisy eat before he does, it’s lovely. Even the residents are excited by the couple, there’s a young girl who always comes out to visit the ducks when they’re outside the sales centre.”

Barratt Homes has had a partnership with the RSPB for more than six years and the wildlife friendly developments dotted around the country are now seeing nature thrive around them.

Michaela Lancaster, sales director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “Our partnership with the RSPB is working to improve our approach to the natural world around our developments.

“We’re so excited that we’re now getting wildlife settling on our developments and I hope that Donald and Daisy have a very comfortable home at Kings Quarter.”
