Molly Malone (arrowed) meets her siblings this afternoon
Further to orphan duck Molly Malone’s travails from earlier.
Some good news, some sad news.

As you may have read earlier we have a lone duckling (Molly) in the shelter since yesterday. This morning having received a call from the public our inspectors went out to a building site looking for the rest of Molly’s family. Unfortunately when they got there only three of the ducklings and the mammy were left. The inspectors managed to catch the three ducklings but sadly mammy flew away. It is never ideal to raise ducklings without their mother but in this case there was just no choice as they would not have survived if left on the site.

feck. why you should never get too close to ducklings unless absolutely necessary — mama duck will fly away and not come back :(
and people say we should let these people marry each other?

Ah jaysus…. they’re clearly not big enough yet!
There’s no meat on the species of duck typically found wild in Ireland, even when fully grown.
let me be the first to congratulate dublin spca on their amazing work. sorry to hear about mammy but glad to see they’re in good hands. fair play – keep up the good work.
