ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING

??? ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING ???

Many thanks to Trustee Paul and his nonagenarian father, Eric, for taking the eight hour return journey to the Far North to deliver the Muscovy ducks to their excited family. Thank you so much Eric, for also funding the meals and overnight accommodation. ?

Delighted guardian, Tammy, (pictured with Eric), had set up a comfortable temporary settling-in area and will allow the flock to wander down to the ponds and dam once they know their boundaries.

Here's what she had to say, "We all love them. The kids, my partner and I have spent most of the day just watching them waddle around. They are so entertaining. Thankyou so much. I will have plenty more pics to come".

Thanks Tammy and family. How we love a happy ending!!!

So far $20 has been donated towards the fuel costs for the long journey. If you are also able to chip in with this expense of $286, it will be much appreciated.

SUCCESSFUL RESCUE

??? Good news! ???

After some nailbiting moments, we have managed to rescue the at-risk Muscovy ducks. It turned out there were 9 of them - not 8.

They are having a sleepover at our shelter tonight and tomorrow they will be transported to their lovely new home in the Far North.

Thank you so much to everyone who offered these beautiful animals a safe haven. If you haven't already, please send us an email with your contact details, so we can get in touch with you when homes are needed for future waifs.

These sweet ducks are currently at the mercy of poachers, causing their numbers to dwindle.

Does your property offer trees, a pond (or kiddies paddling pools) and some green space for 8 Muscovy ducks to enjoy?

These friendly, tail-wagging birds will help keep your land free of ticks, flies and other bugs and will welcome a daily feed and your kitchen scraps.

We are seeking a slaughter-free, rural home where the flock will be appreciated for its beauty and companionship.

Please tell us a little about yourself and your property when you make your inquiries to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Thank you.

NOTE: The ducks are currently living in rural Auckland.

Live animal export is a cruel and abusive industry that must be stopped.

It was heartening to see so many of our volunteers, supporters and colleagues marching down Queen St, Auckland yesterday calling to immediately ban this barbaric trade.

Thank you to the organizers for a rousing rally.
