Wildlife SOS Online - Episode 11

An ex-patient of Wildlife Aid, a female mallard duck who was also one of Lucy's first patients has returned to the hospital, however this time it was of her own accord and within much better circumstances. She has decided that Simon's hanging basket is a suitable place to lay her eggs and in this episode they hatch and are moved to a safer area of the centre.
Also in an interesting turn of events we are called out to rescue another baby swan, which turns out to be from the same family as our other cygnet with the wonky beak.

Omg what a perfect spot for mum to lay her eggs 🥰🥰 clever girl

[@washington-ou3sd]

She'll keep coming back to lay eggs so she'll get free room and board, the smart bugger.

[@xxshadowhunterxx8525]

[@wildlifeaid]

+XxShadowHunterxX Thanks!

[@xxshadowhunterxx8525]

you're welcome! keep up the good work!

[@avonncplayz7168]

xxshadow i want to grow up and help animals similar to what you want to do

[@kareningram6093]

It's so wonderful the duck returned to have her babies. That must have been very rewarding for you all. So often you release animals into the wild and never know what happened to them. But here you could see the beautiful babies that never would have been if you hadn't rescued mom years earlier. Thank you all for what you do.

[@wildlifeaid]

+Matthew Devine We know she was the same duck because of her walk! It was a very distinctive walk after the fracture repair. Very swaying hips

[@Tryinglittleleg]

Wildlife Aid like a beyoncé duck

[@ShadowWizard]

that duck will keep ur hands full for the rest of ur life :D

[@kawaiicupckes971]

Tryinglittleleg lol

[@anthonymcdonnell6615]

[@ilovemajesticbeasts7363]

Hi there I really love your show I would love to work with you But I’m not old enough Could you please let me work here I am 10 but I really want to please!!!!?

[@soohyunjang5540]

'They are the most silly little wings ever' XD

[@wildlifeaid]

surgeyX It was a matter of safety, Simon's courtyard was not safe for ducklings. If a member of the public had called us with the same situation, we would have rescued them and relocated the family somewhere else. So, we did the same thing for these ducks. Although, instead of putting them on Wildlife Aid's pond, where they would have probably been attacked by our resident ducks, we put them safely in our nursery pond.

[@chaosgoettin]

+Wildlife Aid So, did she come back to use you as her nursery? :)

[@wildlifeaid]

+chaosgoettin Yes, she comes every year! But, last year, she was chased by crows and decided to lay her eggs somewhere else. She will probably come by next Spring!

[@chaosgoettin]

Wildlife Aid Though I agree not to interfere with natural behavior and interaction of wildlife, maybe she could get some special protection if that happens again since she is such a loyal visitor. maybe invite her into the nursery right away? she seems to have a crush on Simon after all :D

[@darkknight3961]

is it a duck , goose or swan?

[@DanB95]

+reyhanfidan reyhan It's a vampire. . . Duck. :P One of the more common duck species, I think. (I may be wrong. xD)

[@BorksmithandTheBeef]

That cygnet is so calm. I was amazed. Either very ill or just not developed a proper distrust of humans

[@gammayin3245]

LOL - the mother duck has the seductive Marilyn walk!

[@jaishrees9442]

Watching this in 2019. Hope she's happy and still around.

[@aNewKindOfScene]

She probably keeps going back because she knows she will be safe and taken care of! I don't think the easy food is very deterring either!

[@GaMm765]

Hippo sign made me laught I can only imagine what would hippo rescue looks like : D

[@emmacarpenter5263]

I envie you guys. I want to be just like you when I grow up. You are the best and you inspire everyone . So well done and keep up the fantastic work. I will try and persuade my parents to let me donate.

[@breannathompson9094]

I laughed so hard at the hippo sign hahaha

[@judysrebornnursery]

You are lovely caring people, thank you for being there for all these animals

[@439bananas]

That cygnet is totally adorable, not the usual hissing nightmare.

[@pollyg562]

a awesome show,that proves you dont need millions of Hollywood dollars to make great entertainment,still no excuse for the lack of viewers forgetting to press the like button

[@cathyyang2287]

What happened to the cygnet with the crooked beak? Is it ok?

[@TT-rz5td]

Mama is so beautiful. I love ducks.

[@tauceti8341]

I've tripped on a bamboo fence like that and it can really hurt. I find it very commendable you risk life and limb for these precious animals.

[@arroncample9670]

Loved The TV Show Many Years Back .

[@enrichking639]

Wow these pepol deserve more energy and power.

[@jillianjoy3916]

So adorable! She knows where her true home is. I wonder, how many times has she come back now? It's few years later and it would be so great to see update :) All 9f you are such awesome people! !

[@Omskanielar]

Swans are really beautiful... I have so much respect for you guys, you do an amazing job with helping these animals, I wish there were more people like you. Keep up the great work! *thumbsup*

[@jirinasatavova4062]

At our rescue station, they made a stork prosthesis on a 3D printer. Amazing performance. I'd like to forward the link.

[@FrenchyBunnyStudio]

Very nice! Thank you for your great work!

[@kari3368]

I was hoping to see signs for elephants and angry alligators!

[@jeffrey8154]

It would be nice if you guys keep updating the information about this duck in the discription and / or make a playlist just fro her so we can see it every year it updates.

[@obsidiansea]

Aww, the squeak at 3:53! :-)

[@akkubhaskarbirdsanimallove7601]

Good work.. You're great man.. Support in animal and.. Birds

[@adgo22]

Geez!! Just look at that swing @ 1:07.!! Looks like a combination of a seizure and the Goldy shuffle all in one!!..:-) Classic!!

[@maureenmunday7697]

Thank you for saving these animals! I'm only 11 but I really want to be like you when I'm older 😊

[@wildlifeaid]

+Sophie Marie Great! Follow your dream!

[@danielwickham3439]

love you guys so much i think that duck will take privilages of coming back next year as she knows that you are offering her a hotel room for nothing :)

[@rasak55]

I love duck. They are pure heart animals.

[@sophierobinson2738]

Simon caught himself in the net!

[@ko.ala.b]

3:42 the most silly little wings 😂 oh simon. ❤

[@jaxjax3494]

Love the Celtic music. You guys rock!

[@skeelcourt451]

Hippo? Lion? Someone has quite the sense of humour

[@vphiameradisogaarwa]

I love this show!

[@sw_charlie]

When I grow up Imma help animals. :) I will also donate to you guys.

[@lps-pulse-4842]

The ducks were so cute

[@dreamliverock]

That's one smart duckie

[@TheTinkili]

Hohoho, Simon, that jump was amazing! :D

[@Morithea]

I'm glad you didn't send that other baby swan with them.

[@siratthebox]

"I'll check his poo" *DRAMATIC CAMERA ZOOM*

[@meloniejen8400]

Fate has reunited the cygnet brothers!!

[@janettempest716]

Love your videos your a great team

[@rosethehat2073]

I feel so bad for the cygnet and its family! I can’t believe it was the sibling of the twisted beak one. I hope the twisted beak one is doing okay!

[@imasstraightasacircle1433]

omg they are the cutest things ever!!!

[@jeffreyfugh7602]

The swan couple are incompetent as parents and should be stripped of their child custody. Crushed one, abandoned another

[@manchesterpc]

SO CUTE!!!!!!!

[@Fishcrazy321]

Will the mallard that's her mate be able to stay and follow he once you guys release her again, or do you think he'll leave once he sees they've all gone and disappeared?

[@leonamay8776]

Mallard dads don't raise their ducklings. They leave the mothers and go molting afaik.

[@sagerider2]

Couldn't you just change the LION one to SWAN? I'm sure the Lions won't be put out. Simon, you forgot rule #1 tighten your belt. TUT TUT.

[@kimh7568]

Cute bird!

[@youtube_duo1956]

I love the ducks

[@racheljayne9864]

I absolutely love ducklings!! :) x

[@haloharry97]

I wonder she been comming back for the last 5 years

[@alyssaburrell9866]

i wish i could donate and mabye even volentear but im to young to. but keep up the good work and thank all of you

[@nowandaround312]

Those baby ducks are probably some of the luckiest in the world. Baby ducks are a favorite meal for many predators, many don't make it to adolescence, and of the percentage who have a better chance because they're in captivity, many are in zoos or worse, so to have them in a secure nursery like that with guaranteed food, water and medical care but also to be able to go to the wild where they belong after growing up is really special. Does their enclosure have a pool though? Although the mama duck...you couldn't trick her into walking into a trap or something? Jeez that was stressful for everyone I hope she didn't get too freaked out. Did she return again this year?

[@vmcougarintn5035]

She knows a good thing when she sees one. LOL

[@wildfloweryt7211]

I'm turning 19 tommorow when I get older I'm going to be just like u guye

[@gooeydewys5151]

congrats on turning 21

[@rsameer6964]

excellent work

[@MrShaikhazharuddin]

Please make a bird clinic ..in New Delhi as my parrot died I could not treat him..as there is no proper bird clinic with diagnoses and treatment

[@emmanewman8989]

You're awesome

[@lynnjagger3603]

My favourite part "Let's check his poo" LOL

[@michellechinese1898]

Has the some duck come back since haveing the babys in you hanging basket

[@kalliland3043]

I know this is weird Simon but you have very nice nails

[@ethanarrington1637]

what happened to the badger

[@still_guns]

Whatever happened to the two cygnets?

[@wildlifeaid]

+BMWM3GTRLOVER The sibling was released and the cygnet with the wonky beak was transferred to another wildlife centre for the winter, so he could be with other swans.

[@bonniewugsie5950]

never liked golf courses

[@rosyneuer97]

i love it!!

[@Fishcrazy321]

Will the mallard that's her mate stay and wait for her, or do you think he'll leave once he sees they've all gone and disappeared?

[@leonamay8776]

Mallard dads don't stay anyway. They're not really involved fathers afaik

[@imgladysevans4162]

I love animals too

[@kurumais]

i wanted to see what the safe pond looked like

[@angelinasouren]

If a bird is dehydrated, the urates can turn slightly yellowish/creamy, ime. And yes, passing droppings becomes harder too if the bird becomes really dehydrated. Giving antibiotics without there being a clear indication for a need for them is very tempting but NOT GOOD and any vet should know that, really.

[@lorioneal2387]

poor babies

[@matthewdevine4890]

How do you know it was the same duck

[@Kat-uw1pj]

I WANNA VISIT! I live in the boring US. :D

[@davee6406]

lol @ the signs

[@Martin_Hermann]

So did she come back? Update pls!

[@darkwolfe6986]

Did you at least give the duck a name?

[@Kat-uw1pj]

Whats up with his water? One minute its clear, next its green. :o

[@jamiewalker3383]

They put spinach in it so he might want to drink it

[@Kat-uw1pj]

Ohhh

[@steve2lmao]

*the poo sample*

[@JennyRamos]

I know this is years past... But what ever happened to the signets?

[@grumpyboomer61]

I wonder where Papa Duck got off to?

[@nabaalmiyahi4820]

my duck is sick and her face is getting rotten please help me she is a duckling

[@wildlifeaid]

It sounds like she needs urgent treatment straight away. Please take her to your local vet surgery ASAP!

[@nebulosa4347]

When the ducklings were stuck in that high nest, what were they eating?

[@wildlifeaid]

+Nebu Losa They were born just a couple hours before we moved them, so they didn't have time to get hungry. In a situation where the family would not have been moved, the ducklings would have jumped out of the basket to follow their mum towards food. Simon has two dogs, so the family had to be moved.

[@nebulosa4347]

Wildlife Aid Wouldn't they hurt themselves jumping from that height?

[@wildlifeaid]

Nebu Losa No, it was not very high and they are tough animals!

[@arammmasoumi]

What about the father? What if he wants to come visit?

[@danielwickham3439]

yer i was thinking that as well but i guess its the best thing to do for the babys

[@debralevesque8536]

what about the daddy duck

[@peterpan1002]

3:40 Simon is so rude! that lil baby is going to grow up insecure about his silly lil wings because of his rude words. Love the videos!x

[@jenna4205]

Simon sounds so evil xD

[@beachbitchbeach679]

How to join wildlife? I want to join when i grow up right now im 13

[@wildlifeaid]

+Medow Slayer If you're local to us we'd love to have you on board as a volunteer when you hit 16! bit.ly/1LYa3vi

[@rayanravli6931]

U R Great ♡♡♡♤

[@banksnicholson6754]

So the whole family of goose disappeared?

[@throwup7157]

Coyotes or foxes got them

[@영서-b4t]

❤️❤️😍👍

[@doggiesarus]

So the duck has devised a survival strategy called "play sick and get your needs taken care of by humans." Why not just admit she is domesticated?

[@Kamil-rk9ph]

where is father?

[@Tryinglittleleg]

What about there dad?

[@leonamay8776]

Male mallards are absent dads/not involved in the raising of their ducklings.

[@Kat-uw1pj]

How come these chicks are brown and yellow? I thought they were all yellow. :o

[@seikibrian8641]

+A. Coleman -- These are mallard ducklings; different species of ducks have different colors. The brown and yellow would work as camouflage in the wild.

[@Kat-uw1pj]

+SeikiBrian Ohhhh. I live in the US so have never seen these ducks before. The chicks are cute. I would LOE to visit them in England. :D

[@Kat-uw1pj]

Ohhhh. :D

[@qrubmeeaz]

Lion!!
