Good job indeed in helping the others to cross. RIP little duckies.


I always try my hardest to help a gopher tortoise off the road when I see one.

That is wonderful that you stopped and helped. Poor little duckie babies... and poor mam didn't know what to do.

Last spring, I was turning onto a very busy street in the downtown area and what did I see? Mama duck walking her brood across the street! I stopped my car and parked it cross ways on the street so that no cars could get through and so mama and her babies could get across the street safely! Horns were honking... but I didn't care. Their safety was my main concern. They crossed safely and I moved on to my destination. Some knew what I had done, others probably just thought I was some lunatic!

Aw, Jen, so sorry you had to witness this, but I'm glad you did so you were able to help the rest of the family. I just HATE people sometimes! The moron who ran over the one baby could very easily have stopped waited until momma and babies were all safely across, but I guess he was just too much of a moron and in too much of a hurry in his pathetic little life to care about a few ducks.

I really hate the way ducks and geese are really integrating themselves into our urban environments.....because of all the moron humans out there. Yesterday I was going through a mall parking lot and here's a momma goose sitting on a nest right in one of the islands in the middle of the parking lot! I wish the mall managers would at least put a fence or something around it so when the babies are born they don't wander into the line some idiot person who is so intent on getting to the latest sale that she can't stop for a few adorable fluffy babies.

You have a kind and loving heart. I've seen pictures of people in
newspapers and such of people stopping traffic for some ducks to cross
a road but I've never come upon this situation myself. Thanks for making
a big difference.

God Bless You Jen. What a wonderful thing to do Rest in Peace little ones

You did a wonderful thing. Last week in NY Traffic was stopped for some ducks to cross the road to get to a lake. So sad about the other duckies. Prayers for those babies.
