Internet Cheers For Man Who Helped Mother Duck And Family Cross Road

In a world of constant strife and negative news, even some small acts of kindness are enough to make one’s day. Now a video of one such wholesome act is raking in likes. The undated video shows a man walking close to a group of a mother duck and her ducklings and guiding them across the street. The man makes sure that the incoming traffic stops so that the ducks can go back to the safety of the sidewalks. The onlookers who are witnessing the scene can be heard being amused by the ducks and the man who is helping them. This undated video was shared on Instagram by the popular account Good News Movement.

This video was simply captioned, “Let’s take care of one another… and that includes all living creatures. Love this!!” It is not clear where it was taken. Many people lauded the young man for his kind gesture. An Instagram user commented, “Bro is going to paradise in all existing religions.” Someone else observed, “I love how everyone is watching and smiling at witnessing this.”

An Instagram user highlighted the importance of escorting ducks to water bodies and wrote, “If ducklings don’t get to a large body of water they will be eaten by crows, hawks and other birds of prey. I have a neighbour who transports every new batch of ducklings and the mamas born in our neighbourhood each year to a pond so they survive. He’s the kindest man.”

People also shared similar instances where they have helped animals reach a safe point. A woman recalled, “I’m a pet sitter, and I got a call a couple of days ago: “Hey, uhm, do you also take care of wildlife? Because we don’t know what to do, there’s a mama duck who flew down from our roof, and now ducklings keep falling from the roof like lemmings, and our garden is surrounded by walls, how will they get out?” So I captured all TEN ducklings, put them into a crate and took them through half our village down to the river with the mama duck constantly complaining but keeping up with me this entire time. When we reached the river, I released the little ones and they swam off with their mom.”

Another person wrote, “I used to see this kinda thing semi-regularly with people walking geese across the road in Winnipeg. Geese, goslings, and other waterfowl. Always so precious. I remember stopping my car to get some baby birds out from under my car that had been crossing, no one honked as they waited for the birdies. Precious, completely.”
