'This comical video shows a boy with good intentions facing the wrath of a mama duck.

Filmed by Jess Galloway, this clip features her son Casey trying to befriend a brood of baby ducks. In doing so, he ends up pressing a duckling against the street, prompting the protective mother duck to enter the scene and scare away the subject.

"Casey learned the hard way that a mama duck perceives anyone approaching her ducklings as a threat," Jess wrote. "He has been feeding the baby ducks since he was very little. On this occasion, he saw a few in the park and wanted to cuddle them.

"The ducklings were very friendly but he didn't see mama duck at all until she came for him! Thankfully, she didn't bite and left Casey with just a big 'stay away' warning!"

This footage was taken in Wellington, New Zealand.
