A few weeks ago I came across a very young cygnet with no parents, anyways with a little searching I found a pair of swans who called out for the young one and they were reunited...
Well today I get a call from the bird co-ordinator of the rescue group Im with to see if I could go and pick up 7 wood ducks... Since I was in Brisbane (@ the RNA) I called the person whom had them and said I would be around after I pick the kids up from school.
When I got there it was very apparent that they were indeed Cygnets and not ducks as first thought. Since no-one in the group has even come in contact with them before I had to go and track someone down that has.
It is still uncertain as to whether or not I will have to hand them over (as they are a specialist bird) but for now I am able to rear them. Has anyone else successfully raised them????
Here are some piccies of them
