This time of the year we always hear a lot of
ducks quacking and splashing in the
seasonal creek below our home.
This past weekend our little neighborhood
had 5 baby ducks wandering around
and peeping for their mother. They were far
away from the creek and we managed to
catch 4 of the 5 babies. We called several
places such as Audubon Society and Humane Society
but because it was the weekend we could not
get any help. So we took the babies down to
the creek hoping the mother duck might
hear them. No sign of a mother duck so
we reluctantly released the babies and
we hope they got reunited. Very sad.
I posted our event on our Nextdoor website
and we heard back hours later from
a person who could have taken them and
raised them safely. I wish he had notified us earlier.
But now I have his information so we can
get immediate help if this ever happens again.
Awww so cute and so sad when you can't find mom. They need mom or someone to help them survive.

Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Love and hugs all around. ♥
Oh sweet babies I hope they at least stayed together.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in a group they could somehow manage.
I'm sorry the NEXTdoor response was too late. All we can in a situation like that the best that we can. You certainly did.
Hugs Cecilia
Maybe they did find their mother.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest six pack ever!
ReplyDeleteThat is sad. I hope they survive.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me places like that make no provision for after-hours emergencies, i hope the littles found mama quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt would be very unusual for a mother duck to leave her ducklings. You can only hope that she's out there and catches up with them. Breaks my heart this time of year with any of the Wild babies.
