your small local rescues need your support. We probably won't see any of the matching money from "meta" but we need your support. Not just Feathered Angels/Soft Landings. I encourage you to look for your local small rescue and show your support today. We ❤️ our donors and we couldn't do this without you!!

Domestic Ducks vs Wild Ducks A common question for those entering the world of waterfowl is: what is the difference between a domestic and wild duck?

Please add your voice by asking that they allow rescuers to humanely remove these animals. Please let us know if you are interested in applying for adoption of any geese. We do not know in what capacity Soft Landings/ Feathered Angels will be involved but we are planning to assist.

We are working on a plan with local rescues to humanely relocate the geese in Griffin Park in Bowling Green. Please take a minute to send an email asking then to allow humane relocation instead of killing. These are domestic geese that can't even fly. WE NEED PERMISSION FROM THE COUNTY.

These four babies—Camille, Tammy, Rio, and Davey—arrived on Saturday after being fed human baby formula for a week by a very well-meaning but ill-informed family. Because they didn’t receive the right nutrition for so long, they are a bit behind developmentally. Their legs aren’t quite as strong, and they are not quite as active as the other set of four that are a couple weeks younger than them. They have been thoroughly rehydrated, their little systems have been flushed of all of the human formula, and now they are on a more appropriate diet for growing raccoon babies. Please, if you ever find orphaned wildlife, please contact a licensed rehabber immediately. These little bodies have specific needs, and if they aren’t met, they will die. These friends will probably be ok, but it could have ended very badly.

Stevie and Sid are a couple of Soft Landings of Tennessee rescue ducklings that came from a big box farm store.

They both had health issues, so the store called and asked if we could take them in. Sadly, it's not unusual for farm stores to receive shipments of ducklings that either don't survive shipping or end up having health problems... 😓

Stevie had a bad eye infection and was presumably blind, but our amazing vet has been taking great care of that - sight may even be at least partially restored with treatment. 🥰

The same store called a couple of days later about a duckling with wry neck. This was at least somewhat fortuitous since it meant Stevie having a friend. Sid's neck is looking totally fine and normal now, thanks to some corrective work and vitamins. ❤️ At this age, proper nutrition is vital!
