Remember Rudy?
An imprinted Pekin Duckling who was wandering around Prospect Park chasing park goers and looking for help.

The Dodo covered her story and here it is.

Rudy kept chasing people, hoping someone would stop 🐥

After the domestic duckling was abandoned in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Good Samaritans contacted Wild Bird Fund, who connected them with rescuer Mary Beth Artz of They All Want To Live. Artz brought Rudy to safety, and she's now headed to a permanent home where she'll have a human family and another imprinted duck for company.

Feeding bread to wildlife is not in their best interest.

Again!
This time in Wolfe’s Pond Park on Staten Island. She was rescued but will now need a forever home where she will flourish as an imprinted duck.

They All Want To Live is the rescue group who rescues and places these ducks (like Rudy, the imprinted little girl from Prospect Park, who was dumped on Father’s Day and was chasing down humans for help.

They are looking for a forever home for her and are also in dire need of funds due to the number of recent rescues, some of which require vet care for these poor souls.

If you are able to help, the info is in the original post here. if you can share this it would be so appreciated!!

PLEASE stop dumping ducks in New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

If you can believe this!
This sweet girl was dumped at Wolfes Pond Park. They reached out to They All Want To Live for help and we were able to help thanks to a local Staten Islander who got there in the nick of time.

She is an imprint just like little Rudy who was dumped on Father’s Day at Prospect Park.

Please, please stop buying ducks and dumping them. Absolute cruelty.
Please
