Most wildlife avoids humans from afar as much as they can, but there are more courageous and curious among them who are good to man and exist in man-made environments.
Such animals can be encountered in our environment. These include the mallard duck, which may choose a breeding ground that is in human territory, but feels enough protection and security in it to lay its eggs there, spend its chicks there and raise them.
This period is right now in the lives of mallard ducks. The ducklings are now expected to hatch from the eggs, and the flakes in the nest for a while will leave it after a while, following their mother. However, the roofs and balconies of some buildings may be suitable for spending, but they can even be traps for toddler ducklings. If they cannot get down from there, they are in danger of starvation. If the nest is too high, injury from a fall can be fatal to them.
If we find in our environment that part of a building is inhabited by mallard ducklings, then by placing the little things in a box and placing the hen in a separate box, they should be transported to a safe place near water and then reunited with the family.
