Russians discussed the post in the group Facebook “Neighbors. Belorusskaya-Novoslobodskaya-Mayakovskaya “, in which a resident of Moscow told about ducks on a freezing pond.
“Dear neighbors, who to contact? Ducks and a duckling freeze on a pond on the third Samotechny lane. The duckling does not fly away. Parents are with him. They return to him every day. The bird house has already been removed. What to do in this case? ” – wrote the woman.
Representatives community caring people under the name “Duck Patrol” assured the Muscovite that there is no danger for the ducks now, since the birds deliberately stay in the city in the hope of feeding from the townspeople.
“All they need for wintering is open water (wormwood) and food (it is better if it is cereals and rolled oats). Until the reservoir is completely frozen, nothing threatens the ducks. When there is no hole left, the birds will easily fly to open water, ”the activists explained. They also added that ducks cannot have any offspring at this time of year.
Other users agreed with this opinion, writing that these birds do not always fly south and for Moscow this is a normal phenomenon. “Ducks have been wintering in Moscow for many years. Not everyone flies away. The main thing is to feed them. At the beginning of the Setun river valley, a whole colony of ducks has been living for many winters already, ”“ Yes, they will winters well. If the pond freezes, they will fly over to the Moskva River. A long time ago a population of ducks was formed in Moscow, which remain in the city, ”the residents of the capital noted.
But not everyone agreed with such statements. Eyewitnesses continue to write in the comments that the birds do not fly away because of a duckling whose wing is broken, and are looking for ways to catch the chick for treatment. Users in the comments were also advised to contact an ornitarium, a zoo, a fund for the protection of wild animals, a rehabilitation complex for wild animals and birds.
Earlier, bird watchers talked about birds arriving in Moscow for the winter.
