Saving Ducklings From The Crows

I got a phone call from my daughter who was at her friends house. She told me that there was a mother duck and her ducklings who were being threatened by predators in a town house complex in Vancouver. (There was no pond or bodies of water close by for them to retreat too. ) The ducklings were being taken by cats and crows so she and some residents in the complex all helped to collect the remaining ducklings. Unfortunately, they were not able to catch the mother. I went over to help and was going to catch the mother duck but she flew away once she saw the net. We decided to put the ducklings in a box and walk them over to the closest pond which is about 1.3 km away. The mother duck followed us across two busy streets then we released the ducklings at a small pond in Central park in Burnaby. It was truly heartwarming to see them reunite. It's so great to see that a small community came together to help another family who was in need of help.
