Ha Ha

Abandoning an animal is no laughing matter…

But sadly, that is what happened to dear little Ha Ha. Taking refuge in a fountain in a small country town next to a not so small busy country road, was the diminutive little Ancona duck Ha Ha. Although at first resistant to our kindness, she could not resistant our waterbird wonderland. And it was not long before she was flapping about with her newfound buddies and happiness.

Every year countless domestic ducks and geese find themselves at the mercy of the elements and prey animals at parks or waterways throughout the country having been discarded by their humans who should know better. Without the means to fly and the survival smarts of their native cousins, things rarely end well for these hapless animals. So please do think more than twice before making the commitment to take a duck or two into your world and remember the dumping of any animal for any reason is ill-legal.
