Well, as most people may know, I had 4 mallard ducklings. 1 of them, which I thought was a female, turned out to be a male. Soon after I had 2 males and 2 females. I LOVED my ducklings a lot and I spent a lot (a lot!) of money for them because I wanted to raise them to be happy ducks. 1 passed away, Louis the one who I thought was a female but turned out to be a male. He became paralyzed and some how passed away. It was as if he dislocated his neck bone (although he did not). It just happened. We had a funeral for my beloved friend and took him to the pet cemetery and floated his body off into a lake with flowers drifting aside him
.
I did not want his brother and sisters to experience what happened to him, so I had them shipped to a better place (Nature Preserve) where they promised they would take good care of them. I didn't have the proper knowledge on how to help him. He has done this several times and survived, but not this time. I no longer have ducklings. I plan to start a non profit organization and create a wildlife preserve in Columbus, OH dedicated to helping birds while entertaining people. I do not want to see this or let this happen again. It was the worst time of my life to watch one of my bird friends pass away like that.
