Duckling Rescue at it’s Best!
Mama Duck has had her babies on the window ledge of a bank, and the ledge is ten feet high!
She then flies off the ledge, expecting her babies to follow as they would in the wild – but this is not a soft, forest floor landing onto a pile of leaves – this is a landing on to a concrete sidewalk!
Watch this man from the Bank catch each duckling one after the other, as they jump off the ten feet high ledge – he’s a great catcher!
- See another clip of the same event.
We have a ton of them here and they cross the street boldly… sometimes with deadly consequences. Glad the man was compassionate.
He was a beautiful man to take the time to do what he did.
Acts like this inspires us that man can be kind , gentle and generous if he chooses it. Great post.
It was a wonderful act of humanity on that man’s part – truly inspirational for those looking on; wish I’d been there to experience it first hand.
What a wonderful human! Actually I think there are more good ones than bad ones. It’s the ones that ride the fence that bother me.
I hear what you are saying Rumpydog, you never know where you are with the ones who ride the fence. But this man’s actions put my faith back in human nature – there are more good ones than bad.
This was really wonderful. I agree – there is hope!
Thanks for popping by!
Isn’t it just amazing how mother duck waited around for her ducklings even when a human was involved. Beautiful story
Do you think they know when humans are trying to help them Rayya? I do!
Hey Barb. I definitely do
Barb, thank you so much for bringing our attention to the ducklings, this wonderful man and video…I just passed it along to family members. It’s very touching and a wonderful reminder to me to be aware of when there is need in the world and to be willing to do what I can to help out. Remarkable!
This wonderful man saw the need, and was there for the ducklings, what a beautiful heart he has! And then to guide the mother and her babies to water through the streets, was amazing. What a thrill it must have been to be there to witness the event!
Glad you shared it with family members.
Oh, that is such a beautiful story – I love happy endings, it was so nice to see them all in the water together!!
Have a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy
Thanks Snoopy; I love happy endings too – we are a couple of softies!
Barb,
Thanks so much for sharing this incredible video. Talk about a duck being in the wrong place, but at the right time! I’d like to repost it on my blog so more folks see this animal-loving banker. I’d change my accounts to his bank just because of this duck-adventure. Thank goodness he’s a good catch. Best, Janet
I love the fact that you want to repost it Janet – thank you!
It’s too good not to share!
Brings tears to my eyes.
Mine too, Jodi!
What a wonderful thing to do. We definitely need more people like that in this world.
There are still a lot of good people in this world!
Thanks Barbara for joining my journey.
Looking forward to reading your posts Pat!
Cool video.
Glad you enjoyed it Linda.
what a precious joy-filled moment.
For everyone who watched it I would imagine – something that touches our hearts.
It’s wonderful when people care about baby ducks . . .
Or an other living thing for that matter.
God bless that man! That was a wonderful thing to do.
He is a good man, that’s for sure.
That was beautiful and heartwarming …again, I begin to think that there’s hope [for the humans].
He sure was a good catcher, and that walk was marvellous!
Glad you enjoyed it Rebekah!
Wow, thanks for sharing that. That was amazing!! I would have been a nervous wreck trying to catch them, but he did it with such ease! And te walk to water – so cute!
He has a heart of gold Sarah!
That’s amazing. God bless that man’s good heart and great catching abilities. Those little ducks are so sweet.
Thank goodness for his spot on catching ability!
Ha! Just me being dim! Tried again successfully. What a great guy- he could look after my money any time. Thanks Barb.
Glad you were able to see the video after all! He is a great guy!
I couldn’t see the video either but I applaud the sentiment Barb.
For some reason, I can’t pull it up! :-/ Maybe it won’t on my iPad. Will try tomorrow on my laptop. Hugs, Margie
Oh no . . . I hope it works on your laptop, it’s a very moving clip. If it doesn’t, let me know and I’ll send you the url.

Hi,
That was really beautiful to watch, and I also like how he and others led the family to the water.
A very heartwarming story Mags.
