It’s Baby Duck time, and I LOVE it! Been seeing yellow fluffy cute-balls all over the area recently!
So here’s some stories of duck babies! First from Motor-T
Traffic came to a stop Thursday afternoon on Beltway 8 northbound at Highway 290 as drivers got out of their vehicles to save a group of ducklings running across the lanes.
Unfortunately, the mother duck was hit by a car and died.
…Eleven of the chicks were taken to Texas Parks and Wildlife Center of Texas on Old Katy Road.
I’m glad the babies are in a safe place. Still I have mixed feelings. I would rather dozens of ducks get splattered on the highway than one person injured trying to protect them. I’m glad this didn’t happen, but boy, I don’t think it was wise.
Now from AZRon:
A cop stopping traffic is a LOT better, given that he likely had a vehicle with flashing lights.
Remember! Be kind to our web footed friends because a duck could be somebody’s mother! 🙂
Yep, people HAVE died trying to be helpful like that… sigh
