Yesterday I was enjoying my day at a local duck pond when I spotted a family of ducks crossing the road. They were having trouble getting up the curb and were running around frantically. Their running was taking them dangerously close to a storm drain nearby, and I just watched three of them disappear through the bars. I was horrified. Some other people had seen and called security to try to get them out. Security came and the guy said "This happened a while back. We don't have protocol for this so we just hoped they found their way out on their own." So we called the city police too. They said they'd figure out who to call. We checked back in later, when it was already dark, and we still heard them crying in the storm drain. Time to take matters into my own hands. And so, armed with a cloth shopping bag, a bungee cord, and two fishing rods, we managed to fish out all three little ducklings!!! We couldn't find Mama Duck but I assume she had a nest somewhere safe so we went home with them. We aren't too sure what to do. We aren't going to keep them because I know that mallard ducks are illegal to have so we're going to call around to wildlife rescues and see if they'll take them. Thoughts?
I hope their mom takes them back.
