So cute! Reminded me of this: http://i.imgur.com/3rpdG.jpg

that is exactly how I pick up chicks

Haha, good. ;>

bluejays are the assholes of the bird kingdom. xD

Hahaha for a second I thought this was going to be about when I was given the third degree for picking the ducklings up. Oh dear that was embarrassing.

So cute!

Yes here is a demonstration of how to not handle ducklings, haha. ^^

LOL

govment came and took mah baby XD

Yes they are.

I love ducks

Every single one of them? O..O

It's ok, I would have done the same thing if I had the opportunity to hold baby ducks. <3

BURDS

Omggg I know these feels. So so well.

I work at a rescue too and I wish I could just. Take them all home.

Especially the ones with abuse in their past. Breaks my heaaart.

Does the rescue you work at have pet birds?? Ours is strictly wild birds, so it's illegal to own them, haha. But if I worked somewhere that had parrots/parakeets/any pet bird my house would be overrun with birds right now... lol

Yeah, the one I work at actually has both! Tons of very diverse exotics, both large and small (Many kinds of Macaws, Amazons, Meyer's parrots, Quakers, Conures, African greys, Budgies, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, and there was even a rare Vasa parrot there for a short time). There's a seperate room where they keep the local wild birds, and behind the house in the backyard (the lot is pretty huge) they keep Birds of prey.

Since I know that nobody in my house could handle the noise of being overrun by birds except for me, it's fun to just foster a couple of exotics now and then. I've fostered a Sulfer-crested Cockatoo, Several cockatiels, and a Patagonian Conure so far.

They're lucky since - as a licensed rehabilitator - they can keep wild birds as pets if they happen to either imprint too much or cannot be released to the wild because of an injury. There's a Great Horned Owl there who is missing a wing, that is now a permanent resident of the rescue and he is my babby. ;n;
