According to leading wildlife organizations and extensive research by
Live Ducks, wild
ducks are often rehabilitated and released into their natural environment.
Unfortunately, this is not the scenario for domestic ducks who do not live long in the
wild or without posing a negative impact on existing wild duck populations.
If you have done your homework and are ready for a duck as a pet, consider adoption. Domestic ducks rely on humans for their care and make excellent, loyal pets with a little work. 
International Bird Rescue Research Center A wonderful organization that is focused on wild birds, but will not turn abandoned ducks away. They offer occasional duck adoptions, so donate to them freely, support and appreciate the great work they do for all birds. Although Live Ducks does not have resources to find homes for unwanted ducks, we care deeply about the welfare of ducks and will expand this section as resources become available. If you have a problem keeping your duck, STOP!!! Do not dump it into the wild!! Call a rescue organization or local animal shelter first to explore responsible options. Do your part to make a duck's life safer, happier, better. |
