Finding a home with a pond for a wild mallard, sitting on a nest of 10 eggs. Near Portland, Oregon.
Some sad news: Rosie flew off yesterday and hasn’t been back for over 24 hours. I am waiting to hear from Oregon Fish and Wildlife on what to do with the eggs, which most likely are not viable. -

Rosie is a very special mallard who is well loved by the residents at my senior living community. She has nested on the third floor roof garden successfully for the past three years. Rosie has been injured and it looks like her leg is broken. She is very determined to sit on the nest where she... -

I’m curious… who did you get to band the ducks and did you do it when they were just babies? We have mallards that return to nest year after year in the same spot and since they all look the same, we have no idea if it’s the same one or maybe one of the babies from the year before. Is it even... -
Help with nesting mallard
She is limping and one of her legs looks deformed. She is missing lots of feathers and where you are assuming that she was attacked by multiple male mallards who are brutal.

Free Range Mallards
Thanks so much for your response. She has been sitting on the nest for over 24 hours without leaving to forage. She is very determined and I agree they are not very smart. I’ve been wondering how to contain her so she can heal, but I’m afraid she’ll freak out if we cover the planter to protect her. -
Free Range Mallards
I have an unusual situation near Portland, Oregon. We have a mallard duck nesting on the third floor of our apartment building. She is sitting on 10 eggs. We have successfully relocated several clutches from the third floor to a nearby pond in the past four years. Unfortunately, this Mallard has... -
Help with nesting mallard
Thank you! I have talked to fish and wildlife and the Audubon people here in Portland. Because of the bird flu, they will not take any adult wild birds. They will take ducklings. Because this duck is injured, we are concerned that she may not make it through the incubation period of 25 to 28...- SusanDuck

Rescuing wild mallard ducklings
Hello, There is a Mallard nesting on the third floor of my apartment building near Portland, Oregon. I know it is illegal to interfere with the nesting Mallard. She is very safe and secure in a planter box, where she nested the past two years. We were able to relocate the ducklings to a nearby...- SusanDuck
