We discovered yesterday that nine ducklings were hatched in our backyard. They are gorgeous and we are very concerned about them as their mom seems to have gone AWOL. We have been feeding them and watering them according to standards we found online, but we are concerned about what to do next. The Bronx Zoo, PP Zoo, and Animal Control have not been helpful at all, the latter claiming it’s not an emergency. Does anyone know a way we could relocate them safely to a nearby pond? Does anyone have a kiddie pool we could borrow? All tips and suggestions are welcome — rfsgreene AT mac dot com! Thanks! And I will send pix to brownstoner so you all can enjoy this happening!
