Yesterday GSPCA Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George was called out to 9 stray ducks.

All nine are a mixture of domestic breeds and were caught on St Claire's Hill.

On arrival the birds were checked over and although fine in themselves were very hungry.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "It's not every day we catch and take in 9 stray ducks in one go but the birds are all well and currently in one of our aviaries"

"We are appealing for the owner of the birds to please pop in or give us a call on 257261."

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:10, 5th Dec, 2013 | 0

Despite the cold snap some of our wildlife and animals have continued to produce young here in Guernsey.

Only yesterday we were called to rescue two young pigeons which are now safe and warm in an Intensive Care Unit which was thanks to the Channel Island Christmas Lottery last year.

Also in the last month we have had two tortie and white kittens who have been called Sparkle and Glitter (we currently have a waiting list for homes looking for kittens) and a duckling which has been called Quack Quack.

After the recent news of a car apparently intentionally running over some ducklings this week we would like to remind everyone of the GSPCA cruelty complaint procedure.

With Spring comes many more animals out and about from hedgehogs coming out of hibernation to pet cats enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, ducks with their ducklings to dog walkers making the most of the nice weather.
