Daisy and Donald were bought as ducklings for Easter gifts, but were shortly released at a pond but couldn’t handle the wild. Starving and injured, they were rescued.

Daisy and Donald were Easter gifts, bought as little ducklings. But all
too often animals bought as holiday presents end up being sent away or
abandoned. Daisy and Donald were taken to a pond, where their previous
owners probably thought they’d be able to live out their days. But Daisy and
Donald didn’t know how to take care of themselves in the wild.
All hungry Daisy knew was that people would feed her. So, she followed
people around on the sidewalk near the pond, trying to get them to give her
food. But she was starving, and so was Donald.
Donald ended up getting snared by a fish hook in his bill, but this tragedy
led to their eventual rescue! They were picked up by Fish & Wildlife, and
nursed from starvation back to health at Rooterville.
Daisy and Donald went from starvation to playing their days away in the
green grass and on the pond at Rooterville.
Keep these two fed everyday by sponsoring their care for $25 per month!
