Dumped Ducks




These beautiful ducks found dumped in Lake Illawarra were rescued and now living a happy life with Kate.


These 2 ducks were dumped in Lake Illawarra within days of each other! Whoever the heartless person was they were giving them a death sentence. Domestic ducks don’t drink saltwater or eat the same food as wild ducks.
The first duck was found in a terrible condition on the break-wall;  absolutely terrified , dehydrated and starving. He was picked up by team member Kate in the kayak.
The second duck also starving was found hiding in the grass.
With thanks to Kate they are both now living happily at her home with some chooks for neighbours.
People who can’t care for their animals or no longer want them, need to get in touch with the relevant authorities to seek help.
Both these birds would have perished if they hadn’t been spotted by Australian Seabird Rescue on regular patrols.
