💡 Did You Know?

Ducklings are born able to walk and swim within hours, but they still depend on their mother to lead them to safe feeding spots and shelter. In the wild, a mother’s guidance is their main defense against predators — and against the hidden dangers of human-made environments.

Urban areas are full of hazards that ducklings can’t navigate on their own, and storm drains are one of the most dangerous. The openings are often just the right size for tiny legs to slip through, but far too deep and steep for them to climb back out.

When separated, mother ducks will call loudly, pacing near the spot where their young are trapped. This isn’t just communication — it’s a distress signal meant to rally her brood, and sometimes, to catch the attention of a passerby who can help.

By reuniting ducklings with their mother quickly, rescuers give them the best chance to stay together as a family and continue their journey safely — something that’s critical in the fragile first weeks of life.
