Duck Rescue Update
I received a joyous email to update us on the progress of the little ducks that were rescued back in June. Check it out!
"After weeks on a healthy nutritious diet, the ducklings were finally ready to move to their new forever home. On Friday, July 7, they moved in with their new family. April, their primary caregiver, is an extraordinary young lady who is an animal lover and hopes one day to attend veterinary school. April's father worked tirelessly building the perfect predator proof pen for the ducks to ensure they would be safe. April spent hours researching to find out all she could about keeping ducks, including the proper care and food necessary to ensure the ducks live a long and healthy life. It all paid off. When the ducklings met their new mom, it was love at first sight. They immediately began following her around her backyard and even followed her right into the family swimming pool, enjoying a cool dip after a stressful car ride to their new home.
Thanks to everyone who participated in rescuing these ducklings. Most ducklings abandoned at ponds don't survive the night. They truly are defenseless and fall prey to predators such as raccoons, dogs, snapping turtles, cats, and even other ducks. Kudos to all who worked so hard to help!"
