Geraldine, a small duck, is now in good hands and enjoying a happy life. This comes after she faced a lot of bullying and harassment from other ducks at her pond. Concerned locals noticed her distress and came together to raise awareness for her well-being.
Fortunately, their efforts did not go unnoticed. Geraldine was rescued from Whitburn Pond in South Tyneside and taken to the animal charity Pawz for Thought in Sunderland. A kind-hearted individual who found her in a helpless state, quickly rushed her to the charity.
Lynne Ebdale, the founding director of the charity, said that she received a worried phone call from a resident about Geraldine's eyesight. Apparently, the duck was not only being excluded by her fellow ducks, but she also had cataracts that were causing her vision to deteriorate.
Within just 20 minutes of her arrival at the charity, two volunteers with a soft spot for old and disabled animals stepped in and adopted Geraldine. Lynne explained that they do not have the necessary facilities to cater to a duck with special needs, as they mainly deal with short-term care. She also mentioned that their center is quite busy, making it difficult for them to provide the level of care that Geraldine required.
Now, in her new home, Geraldine's every need will be met. She will have easy access to food, without facing any competition or bullying from other birds. She will also be safe from other animals that may target her eyes. Additionally, she will have her cataracts checked by a vet in a few days to ensure she is in good health.
Meanwhile, in Chorley, another duck named Ham made headlines for his naughty antics. The mischievous four-year-old Indian Runner Duck was hand-reared by his family and is known for following kids to school, chasing bin lorries, and even picking fights with foxes. Despite his troublesome behavior, he has become quite famous in his town.
Ham's owner's son is his best friend, and they even share a cup of tea together. However, Ham's love for adventure always seems to get him into trouble, and his misadventures have gained him quite a reputation online.
