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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
