Repeat Offender - Brood Relocation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- For the past few years, we have been called out to a pub in Dorking to relocate a mum and her new ducklings. Unfortunately, no matter the area we move her to, she insists on returning to the very same spot each year to lay her eggs.
We ask the landlords each year to remove the nesting materials as soon as they see she is gathering them together. This will in turn, hopefully encourage her to move her regular nesting site to a more appropriate location - hopefully near water!
Watch, as Simon and the team attempt to catch her yet again and figure out the best new home.

😂😂 I couldn't help but laugh when they jumped in the water and instantly jumped back out.
That was a _'big smile'_ moment for me, indeed. 😋 You could easily tell they were blindly following their mother, but the novelty of the feeling of water was a little too sudden and out of their comfort-zone, for sure. 😃
I’m sure they were saying.. “cold! Cold! Too cold!!”
lol Me too! I have never seen ducklings react like that to getting in contact with water for the first time. XD Usually they are drawn to it like a magnet.
Yeah I laughed too , this is what I see every time a the resceu I help at . Wonderfull creaters
Clever momma duck already knows the convenient transfer service will turn up every year. XD
lol. Free transport to the nearest lake and free food/room service!
Lots of babies! Of course she does this every year! Perfectly safe space to lay, then they all get a lovely new space! She doesn’t care who she is inconveniencing.
And she knows where the best concierge services are! Eventual relocation to rooms with a private pool, limo services, room service... LOL!
... and much more of her brood is safe than would be otherwise. At that age far more of them will make it to adulthood.
Smart mama
Duck-mum: "Look, it's the annual ride." 😅
I love how they jumped in the water straight away, then experienced instant regret 😂😂😂 never seen so many ducklings rush to get out of the water all at once, I feel bad for laughing 😂
It was quite funny to watch! We're not sure they quite knew what they were getting themselves into :D
3:29 wish someone looked at me, the way Simon looks at ducklings learning to swim 😍❤️
Yeah, sure I will... no sorry I got distracted by the ducks. Can you blame me?
@4:50, too
Dang, that IS a huge brood! Good save!
3:35 “nope, too cold mom, we’re out” 😂
Haha they did exit rather quickly
😂😂😂
That's a lot of babies. Simon, you look at them with such love and wonder on your face. So beautiful. Thank you.
You can just see the goodness in people’s faces who love animals.
That's one of my favorites it just shows how much care you give to all the animals and the fact that you made sure that 10 or 11 baby ducks have a chance to grow up and be adult producing ducks making more babies it's just wonderful thank you quack
You guys really do make the planet a nicer place.
Such a beautiful site to see. Love baby ducks so adorable
XD Didn’t expect that for the ducklings’ first swim. I always thought they take to it like... well, ducks to water
What a gorgeous female mallard! Unfortunately for me, the local pond had 3 ducks nesting on a big island, 1 in the reedbeds and 1 on a small grassy island, but they all stopped incubating suddenly, at the same time, except for the female ( Who is named Aggie ) who was on the small grassy island. Unfortunately again, she and her 3 ducklings kept getting swept down an overflow, and one morning there was only one duckling left. Later in the day she abandoned them, so I had to go down and get the poor fella. They went off to a wildlife rehabilitation center to live with other ducklings to be released!
I love ducks and especially ducklings! They are so cute!
What a wonderful sight :) Now just hope they survive Magpies and Heron , mum has her work cut out ."Re your jeans ...do the lotto and see if muck for luck helps you " Here's hoping .. A thumbs up for this rescue *
Precious. Simon you are a wonderful caretaker.
This is precious! So cute when the little babies went back out of the water ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
I adore ducks. They're one of my fave birds.
What huge number of ducklings she had! And that's the first time I see ducklings take their first jump in the water, I'd never know it could scare them, I thought it was kind of instinctive to appreciate it. I must admit this part was funny and adorable. :)
Quite funny when the babies and Mum were first released into the area with a pond and the babies wanted none of it! :) Spoiled little babies. Thanks Simon!
what a lovely sight watching mom and her 15 ducklings swim off into their new home.
That is a whole lotta ducklings. Great film footage, folks, and Awesome rescue. The Brood are old enough now that their chances of survival are so much better ( notwithstanding the local Foxes, etc.) That Mama is no dummy. She knows how to score a safe crib, great food, and transport to an upscale neighbourhood. What's not to like ?!
Oh well done! Let's hope she really loves that pond! That is a LOT of ducklings! Lets also hope they make it!
She had 12 last year! That's one successful mum!
@@TooTallGaming
Remarkable!
Realistically, at least some won't make it.
@@ShadeSlayer1911
I'll bet you are the life of every party.
@@julieenslow5915 Just keeping it real.
I think they said 15 babies? Goodness! I had no clue ducks could have that many! I'm just glad that they're all safe and hopefully she'll get the message to have her babies somewhere else
So funny when the ducklings jumped out of the water. Such a lovely family!!
I loved the way the babies followed mum into the water and then instantly turned to get out again. That was too funny!
Momma duck: "Looking forward to our next anniversary, Simon, quack"
It just makes my heart sing every time you release an animal back into the wild.
Wildlife Rescue always brings me back to real life. I love this outfit.
Tiny floofs 😍😍😍
Lol! Them legging it out of the water as fast as they got in is the funniest thing I've seen this week.. An then them all little ducklings standing around watching mum have a bath is so adorable
This video made me feel all the feels!! What a wonderful place to release them! That duck is such a fertile Myrtle!! Can't wait to see how many she has next year!
Great job. Such a beautiful family!
Beautiful family alright. But they all look the same. I wonder how mommy tells one from another.
1:20 "Oh she pood down my jeans, that's nice." Me: 😆 HA!🤣 All in all, a wonderful video and rescue.
I bumped into your videos 2 days ago and you all immediately grew to my heart(if it is not English you still understand what I mean). Just donated and I'll try to persuade others to send at least a WILD3! Thank you for being as you are, God bless you.
This video is like a little slice of heaven.
Awww was this the family I'd been watching on your web cam for a few weeks!? If so, I knew they had gone to a pond nearby but it's nice to have seen the release! 🦆😃 A bit odd that the landlords don't follow your advice re. the nesting materials though!
This is indeed the family from our webcams. :D It's a shame they do not follow our advice but hopefully they will for next year.
Maybe they like the duck family, and just want VIP service. 😄
@@wildlifeaid maybe the mom enjoys to be on social media and wants to have more followers!! Who knows!
That momma duck was pretty calm through this.
Guess she knew Simon was a very nice human.
She's figured out that you're a great bet for having more offspring survive. Clever mama.
Absolute treasures.
What a peaceful bit of river/lake you managed to find for them! They won’t be bothering you guys anymore now they’re happy and settled.
I,ve watched Simon for many years doing his wildlife rescuing " he's brilliant"They still show the repeats of his work on channel 5 at about 5-30am " he's a lot older now though "with his white hair" don't know how much longer he'll be able to carry on " although his daughter helps him now" as she is a vet..God bless him and his team" for all the life long hard work they do.....
That’s one hell of a smart duck mother:
She knows no other ducks are going to bother her near the pub. Probably manages to catch the odd salt and vinegar crisp every now and then. And - best of all - each time her duckings are about ready, this magical carpet appears out of nowhere to transport them all together to the pond! 😍👍🏼
Jolly good show. Good man. But now you have to understand. Of course she returns to the oub, where else is she going to get a pint o' bitter ?
She’s probably like “urgh you guys again!”
More like "Ugh, the transfer service is late this year, what took you so long?" ;D
@@phangirlable Haha! "This is unacceptable! I will not be back"
Wildlife aid in the background: "yeah that's what we want...."
lol XD
So lovely...😊
What a beauty 🌸
If only we could clone Simon and have one in every town. So hardworking and yet so cheerful and the love of all creatures so clear in his face as he watches the duck and babies swimming off. Just lovely 🙂
Thank you so much for everything you do ❤️
If those little ones are going to follow mother duck's exapmle, you're going to have a busy time during nesting season ;)
That was lovely!!! Such a nice rescue/release. I enjoy watching all those little skeeters trundling around after Mom and then sailing off into the figurative sunset of their nice new home. Thanks, Guys!
fun watching mom teach babies about water
We had a duck who made a nest in a bank flower box.. too cute
I adore mallard ducks , they are by far my favourite, such a shame they have such a hard life , good job guys ❤️
You are a hero. You give me hope about humanity.
Lovely. I would be honoured for her to come back each year to my garden. Would provide a house and food until she wanted to move them. Then might call for help if it involved roads.
As long as the help is not needed from charities
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It's so beautifull.
Just beautiful. If only every single human had such a loving heart. 💕
👏👏👏love you guys.
Well done.
Thank you
sweet!

So beautiful... those babies were watching mom in the water..the second round they were all putting their little bills in the water and bathing! This clip was so beautifully done. I love what you do and the respect you have for these animals is unparalleled!
That was such a sweet video: so much caring and compassion ❤️
There's something beautiful, peaceful, and calming about this video.
Lmao @ the babies getting back outta the water so fast 🤣🤣
Such heartwarming videos. Simon and the people at Wildlife Aid really love and cherish the animals they rescue and care for. They are a truly worthy cause to donate to.
So many babies! Ive never seen so many to a single mum
Simon ..your so caring with all the animals you rescue. Love the duckling story too. Thanks so much and again greetings from the Los Angeles area:)
the first time in the water the ducklings hop in and immediately hop out like "NOPE TOO WET IT'S WET MOM YOU DIDN'T TELL US WATER IS WET!!!!"
Soo beautiful❤️ soo many cute ducklings.. good job Simon & all that help protect wildlife❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an amazingly beautiful pond/lake at the end.
So very lovely☺️
Oh, that was lovely.
That was now so sweet love the work you do
Awww this is one of my favorites!! The look on Simon's face when they were in the enclosure pond, LOL ol softie!
Very nice rescue story with a happy ending. 🙂🦆❤
beautiful released
that was lovely .thank you
OMG I LIVE NEAR THAT PUB
Simon is a real treasure
Nice. Always enjoy coming back to watch the catches and releases and see how these animals are doing afterward. Seeing that the animals are doing well in the end always feels good!
(though I still appreciate the tragic stories, too, like the stag who'd been hit by the car or the fox who'd been in a terrible snap-trap, because those convey an important moral too)
We are glad you like all of our videos. We do try to vary the content, like as you say, it shows nature.
Well done!
This must be like the longest video ever by you ;)
Love it and so appreciate everything you do!
Awesome release
Maybe the pub could make a small pond, it could keep the ducks happy and the pub-users might like to see the broods!
I think that you'll find that mother duck plans this every year. Nest in the pub garden where kind humans will bring her food. Then have wildlife rescue come and move her plus brood safely to a pond.
Ducklings are so cute! I wonder if Mom will get used to you coming to the rescue every year.
Hopefully not, we encourage the landlords to remove the nesting materials each year before she lays her eggs, in hope that she will decide on a better place for her babies in the following years.
I love ducks, they're so cute and friendly!
Hello👋🏻 what a lovely place to raise her babies!! I enjoy your videos very much and the work you do is so appreciated!! Thank you. ❤️💜💚
Mum has found a very effective breeding strategy, that involves co-opting humans to provide food and a safe environment for the early stages of the ducklings being in water, followed by a careful choice of eventual place for them to grow to adulthood. Of course she's going to keep doing it.
Wonderful
Good job every time !
Lovely 🐤
One of my fave vids from you. Tx
Smart duck!
Una bellissima famigliola 😍😘🤗
When the ducklings quickly exited the water, I thought, so much for the old saying about taking to something like a duck to water. I guess sometimes it isn't an immediate acceptance. 🙃
Very well done
I love your videos, all of them! 💗
Thank you so much!
