Every year in springtime, particularly at Easter, many people “impulse buy” ducklings as gifts, often for their kids. But after the holiday, animal rescuers routinely see an uptick in abandoned adult ducks in local parks and ponds
But after the holiday, sometimes months later, animal rescuers routinely see an uptick in abandoned adult ducks in local parks and ponds, Di Leonardo says. There’s no official data on how often this happens, but he estimates tens of thousands of domestic ducks are dumped each year throughout the U.S. His organization rescues as many as 500 ducks per year in the New York City area alone.
Of course, there are plenty of people in the U.S. who properly care for their pet ducks, which can be sweet and curious companions. Audrey Quillin, director of Good Sprout, describes the array of personalities at her rescue—there’s the duck that’s afraid of water, the loner, the thrill-seeker, the lovebirds.
