Animal Care, Life in Alaska & Stories

Welcome to Nadia Marie, a place where I share my love of animals, nature, photography, travel and everyday life.

Over the years, I have cared for many animals, including ducks, geese and dogs. Through my own experiences, I have learned how rewarding animal care can be—as well as how much responsibility, patience and knowledge it requires.

Here you will find practical animal-care guides, personal stories about the animals that have touched my life, and reflections about living in some of the most beautiful parts of the United States.

Whether you are raising ducks for the first time, caring for geese, looking for information about your dog, or simply love animals and nature, I hope you find something here that helps or inspires you.

Duck Care

Ducks are wonderful, intelligent and social animals, but keeping them healthy requires much more than providing food and water.

My duck care articles cover subjects such as feeding, housing, winter care, duckling care, behavior, health problems and recognizing when a duck may need veterinary attention.

You can also read about common duck health problems, nutrition, housing and other important topics for anyone considering keeping ducks as pets.

Goose Care

Geese are intelligent, social birds with strong personalities. Having raised and cared for geese myself, I have learned that understanding their behavior is just as important as providing proper food and shelter.

My goose-care guides include information about feeding, housing, winter weather, goslings, behavior, health problems and everyday care.

Dog Care

Dogs depend on us for everything from proper nutrition and exercise to grooming, identification, veterinary care and a safe place to live.

My dog-care section shares practical information for helping dogs live healthy, comfortable and happy lives.

Animal Health & Care Guides

Knowing what is normal for your animal can make it easier to recognize when something may be wrong.

Throughout the site, you will find articles covering common health concerns affecting ducks, geese and other birds.

These articles combine what I have learned through years of caring for animals with information gathered from additional sources.

For serious illness, injury, sudden behavioral changes, difficulty breathing, inability to eat or drink, or other emergencies, always contact a qualified veterinarian or avian veterinarian when one is available.

Life in Alaska & Beyond

Living in different parts of the United States has given me the opportunity to experience very different landscapes, climates and ways of life.

On the site, I share my experiences and thoughts about places including Alaska, Oregon, Wyoming and Colorado, along with the wildlife, scenery and everyday realities that make each place unique.

Alaska has provided especially memorable experiences—from its dramatic changes in daylight and weather to its wildlife and extraordinary landscapes.

Photography, Art & Nature

I have always loved creative work.

Photography, painting, drawing, writing and nature are important parts of my life, and many of the photographs and stories throughout this website reflect that.

The natural world provides endless inspiration—from birds and wildlife to mountains, forests, oceans and changing seasons.
