‘They aren’t fazed by a crowd’ - Two ducks become regular customers at a South Shields pub
A South Shields pub has gained two new feathery regular customers.
Two ducks have taken social media by storm after they’ve become regular visitors at a South Shields town centre pub.
Aptly named Donald and Daisy, the two ducks are daily visitors to Sinia’s, on Prince George Square, after they first appeared at the venue around five weeks ago.
Pub owner Sinia Jazwi frequently posts videos of the pair on social media and they’ve since become a viral sensation across South Tyneside and beyond.
With staff having purchased duck food, Donald and Daisy now wander inside the pub to eat and even peck on the door if they can’t get in.
‘The customers can’t believe it’
Sinia has explained that what started as just a one-off visit has turned into the ducks coming back to the pub multiple times a day.
She said: “Around five weeks, I was setting up the outside seating area and then two ducks come round the corner so I fed them and took a video.
“Then they came back the next day so I ordered some duck food and now they come up to four or five times a day, every day.
“They just come into the pub or peck on the glass door to be let in if it is closed.
“They aren’t fazed by a crowd or anything like that - the customers can’t believe it when they come in.”
‘Nice to see something really positive’
Sinia has also spoken of her surprise at how many people have been following along with the ducks online and praised the positivity that they are spreading.
She added: “I’m really surprised at how much people have been loving seeing the ducks on social media.
“We’ve had to have a sign put up that says ‘caution, ducks’ because of how often they are coming into the pub.
“But the customers and people on social media are loving seeing them so it has been really good.
“When I’ve been shopping on King Street, people have been stopping me and telling me that they’ve seen them out and about.
“It is lovely and it is nice to see something really positive.”
