I'm always so thankful to here of rescues when so many people are ignorant of the fact that domesticated water fowl are not like their wild cousins in that they can not fend for themselves or fly off to migrate where there is plenty of food to eat during cold weather months. I'm not sure though if it's ignorance or they just don't want to know and convince themselves that the duckling/duck or gosling/goose Can take care of itself after it has depended on a human for feed and care. I wish TSC and feed stores would quit making it so easy.We are in the high Nevada desert.
