Baby Duck Rescue


A couple of days ago we had this mama duck with all of her little babies in our front yard. All the little kids were loving it, and they tried to feed them bread, but they didn't want any. We then found out that one of the little babies had fallen into the storm drain and so the rescue began. We tried to get it out ourselves but it wasn't working, so we had called animal control and it took him about 10 minutes to capture the duck. It kept going across the street well under the street but it kept moving to both sides. He finally got it and took it to a safer place. The momma duck took off with the rest of her babies so we couldn't give her lost little one. It doesn't end there. After animal control left we heard another little duck in a different storm drain. So we had to call animal control back to come and rescue this baby. This rescue was a lot faster and he put the baby duck with it's sibling. It was sad but I am glad they were both ok. It sure did create a lot of excitement for the neighborhood.
