On Tuesday we went to see Jackie from Bird Rescue. She told us a bit about the birds and what we had to do to take care of them. We needed to get some soaked cat food to feed them. Since both Harriet and Amy had cats, it was easy to get some. She also gave us a lamp, the lamp comforts them and it helps to warm them. The slightly larger duck acts like a mother duck, although it is only a week older. Some-one found him in a drain. The other four were brought in because their mum got hit by a car. Their names are Fluffy, Trouble, Quackers and Sponge (we did the naming!) But we can only tell Mother Duck and Fluffy apart from the others. We have to make sure they have a lot of food and we learnt how to pick them up safely. We will look after them until Friday.
Thinking big picture, our job is to help share Jackie's load. We also have a responsibility to spread the word and tell others what we have learnt. Please keep your cats inside at night to give the birds a chance. Drive carefully around lakes and forests and be aware! Make sure you are on alert when driving.

Hello Nicole
ReplyDeleteThe ducklings are at school and you are welcome to come in and see them. We take them home after school and they are back at school in the morning. We are taking them back after lunch on Friday.
Thanks

Well done girls taking action. At times we can make excusses very quickly we are to busy to help others when they are in need.
ReplyDeleteA great life skill to have. An action ranger!

WOW girls you must need to have lots of Organisation Skills to look after ducklings! Which is a great skill to learn because when you are older Organisation comes in handy.

Ducks back at school after a night at the Pearces! One of us who shall remain nameless ended up sleeping in the lounge with them to make sure they were safe!

You are doing a wonderful job of looking after the ducklings. It is going to be very hard to give them back!
