Man Takes In Abandoned Ducklings – These Photos Are Way TOO Adorable!

Avid Reddit user ‘powerbookguy’ took to his favourite social network to share these incredible pictures he took of what he’d been up to recently. And we’re glad he did, because everyone loves a bit of cute, don’t they?!

Returning home from work a few days ago – to his horror – he found a dead duck on his driveway. And then her orphans. All SEVEN of them! He called into the house to fetch his wife and tell her about his duckling discovery, urging her to go online and research how best they could save the furry little critters’ lives. And his family more than managed that feat!

Let’s hear the rest of the story from the rescuer himself, shall we?

“I came up over a hill to find the momma duck dead and the babies scurrying into the road to get to her. I pulled a quick U-turn and shooed them off the road. They huddled by a closed garage for warmth.”

“I quickly discovered I had nothing in my car to transport ducks (won’t make that mistake again!). An employee from the golf course just down the street got me a box. Here they are cuddled in the box after I collected them.”

Bringing Ducklings Home

 

“Once home, my wife and daughters helped me make a temporary home for them…a storage bin with a towel in the bottom.”

“We quickly discovered these little guys (girls?) can really jump! My girls had this innovate solution to block them from hopping out while I searched for a better solution.”

Duckings Saved

 

“One tiny duck hotel with a heat lamp, check! I cleared a space in the corner of our garage and it was time for them to move in.”

Taking Ducklings Home

 

“They seemed to take to the new spot right away. They drank water from bowls and then just sat in the water. Our neighbor ran to a local pet store and picked up some food for them.”

“They survived the night! We’d done everything we knew to do and were pretty sure they would be warm enough, but it was great to see them alive and well still this morning.”

According to a recent update by powerbookguy, the ducklings have just been released into the wild too! Well, they say that all ducks have their day, don’t they?

Don’t they? Meh – either way… why not share this mighty duck post with your friends!
