Duck and her ducklings helped to safety!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Over the 40+ years he's been rescuing animals, Simon has come up with numerous techniques to make ruscues quicker, smoother and as stress free as possible, and one of our favourites is the 'keep net' trick!
This mallard family needed a little help to water after getting lost in a large back garden. With several very busy roads between them and their goal, they definitely needed a little help!
Adult ducks are notoriously flightly and can easily abandon their brood if they feel under threat. This trick allows us to safely relocate whole families without mum flying off, and it works so well!

Simon and Lawrie make such an awesome pair!
Aww, how lovely to see mum and ducklings reunite and swim off together 💜 A textbook rescue-release and perfect lesson in patience and composure 😊xXx
I have an expectant mother Mallard nest by my front entrance to my house. We've taken all steps including placing signs stating shes a protected species and allerting the housing athorities and landscapers not to disturb her. We watch her always like duck police to insure her safety. With love, hope and luck we can help her with a smooth transistion to the nearest water when the babies finally hatch❤

That’s terrific. I just read about some locals in my neighborhood who tried to get a duck family off a major road to safety. The babies are safe, but mom duck got spooked and flew off. She’s since been spotted, but no word yet whether she and her brood have been reunited.
Thank you for saving this family ❤😊. Even when you love it, it's still hard work.❤😊❤😊❤😊
Thankyou to everyone at Wildlife Aid and all groups who stand up to save Wildlife Real Heroes

Utterly heartwarming 💖 💕
Well done everyone, and many thanks for all of the hard work you constantly do. 💖
Bless the mother duck and her ducklings. Bless you Simon and Lawrie ❤❤
We once had a duck family in our community garden. And tried very hard to keep them from slipping under the fence and onto the street while we waited for the animal rescue team to arrive. Additionally there were young blackbirds who had just fledged and felt scared by our moving around, so we had to drive them back to the garden too. That was a stressful time, because I was so afraid one of the birds might get run over. Thankfully, nothing happened, although they did go onto the street eventually and I had to drive them back. The capture team arrived and we were able to capture duck mom and then all her babies. We had to fish some of them out of a levender bush where they had successfully hidden. Was a lot of crawling around in the dirt. ^ ^ They put them in a carrier box, but that one had large enough openings in the front that one of the babies fell out on the way to the car. We quickly caught it again, though. The team did not take as many precautions as the WAF people did. For example, they put mom and ducklings into one carrier. Anyway, I think it still worked out and everyone arrived safely at a nearby lake.
Excellent work, as always. Thank you 💚💚💚💚
You guys are so amazing with everything you do :)
Well done!
Wonderful to see Simon battling fowl.
Love you guys. Kind hearts... happy mother duck & babbies. Beautiful days just now up in Scotland (touch wood)... all the birdies are busy, mostly happy. Seen loadsa deer. Roe & other. They don't appear as nervous as they have. Fascinated by Dippers - since I saw my first recently. It blended in with the white wash and froth of the stream as it did its knee exercises on a rock. Much love
🦆💖
Wow that was a pretty big brood of ducklings. I'm glad it all worked out and Mum swam off with her little ones in tow.
How is it that these rescues become more precious, every time i see....🤔...🥰🥰🥰
Good job you took care of Mrs Quackers first. Ducklings are the most beautiful creatures on the planet. Thanks to Simon and Lawrie.
Thank you, Simon and Lawrie, for putting your hurt and soul into protecting the harmony of nature!
Uğraşıniz icin teşekkürler.❤❤❤
Thanks for this! Been waiting for it. I'd build you a whole new facility if I could. Cheers!
Much Love, God Bless to the A Team and the folk that called you in! ❤ XXX
Well done, guys!
Thank you 😊
Wonderful rescue as usual 💜
Such a wonderful video, with a happy ending, made possible by excellent human beings. 😃 Thank you all for your hard work in protecting wild life.
Beautiful site.Thank you
Lovely job, thank you for saving this family. I spend a lot of time with ducks and have seen how devastating it is for the mother duck if they lose their ducklings. There is one at the place I go that lost all 10 to Gulls about 6 weeks ago. She is normally very loud and full of character when she comes over to feed but has been silent since. They are very emotional creatures.
This was better than a disney movie! Love you guys❤💜💙
What a beautiful duck family. And it's always nice to see Lawrie and Simon working together. Much love to all of you at Wildlife Aid.
With all the horrors in the world it’s so lovely to see some decent human beings 🦆🥰
Well done sir ❤🎉🎉
Well done team! I think mamma duck trusts that grey haired gentleman, as soon as he coxed her she followed.
D oing Gods work....bravo Simon✌️

Well done Simon and Lawrie ! So lovely to see the mother and ducklings relocated ❤️
Another heart warming and emotional video...in a not so heart warming world at the moment. Well done guys. Question: how many groups such as WAF are there in operation? (anywhere?)
❤❤
Love the Matrix poses 😀 As always great job team WAF, the humour and dedication to our fuzzy or feathered friends is awesome.🌷
Great work team 👍🇦🇺
You guys are amazing, thank you for all you do 🙏❤
Lovely rescue to a lovely pond. Kind of like herding cats to get them there, though.☺
The ones you had to catch by hand screamed like you were holding them upside down by the feet. So small and such drama-queens. But it must be hard to understand for them. So good to see them off to a chance of being more than a foxes dinner, even though I love foxes.
😀💕!
❤❤❤
A lovely video. I really like how there's info on why you do certain things too, it's interesting to learn how you work in order to avoid the parents abandoning the babies.
Thanks on behalf of the duck family of 12! 😃👍
