Last night while working on the house, my FIL (Father in law) was loading boxes into his van to give to his old neighbours. He noticed a duck hanging around in the alley near a storm drain. We don’t get ducks around our house at all. So she was out of place. He mentioned it to us then, and continued loading. The duck had been making quite a racket, so he went a little closer only to hear ducklings in the storm drain. He came in and told me, I said for him to tell my wife, she would know what to do. She called the SPCA, which gave her another number to call. While she was on varying numbers of trying to get a hold of someone, we went over to see if there was anything we could do. We tried to get the grate off of the storm drain, but to no avail. She finally got a hold of the person she needed, which in turn called the fire department. The response time was amazing. That is good to know, in case there was a fire, we would be safe. Alas, it took them a while to get the storm drain off, but was able to get the ducklings out of the drain. YAY. I don’t know how many were down there but very glad they got as many as they could, if not all of them.
