Other Ways
of Helping
Donations are not the only way you can
help ducks and geese. Sometimes an investment of time
and energy is worth more than the largest donation.
There are many things you can do. The list below is
certainly not exhaustive and we welcome any suggestions
or ideas you might have.
Talk to
us!
|
Speak with the
managers of suppliers who sell ducklings. Work with them
to post checklists for potential purchasers that will
educate them of the responsibilities involved in
long-term duck ownership (food, water, bathing water,
predator proof enclosures, nighttime “lockdown”
shelters, etc). This type of involvement is preventative
and does the most good for our cause. |
|
Educate yourself thoroughly before deciding to purchase
or adopt waterfowl. Commit yourself to a lifetime of
care and enrichment for the animal before you make that
final decision. They are depending on you! |
|
Provide us with your waterfowl vet information, so we
can add them to our waterfowl vet finder, so that others
in your area that need waterfowl vet assistance will
have accurate information right at their fingertips. |
|
Let your local animal shelters and veterinarians know
about our organization and website. We are a great
informational resource for potential adopters of
waterfowl that may reside at your local animal shelters. |
|
Educate children about the
responsibilities of duckling ownership and why frivolous
purchases should be avoided. Teachers in our area can
contact us to visit your local Elementary School for a
presentation. |
|
Organize a fundraiser in your
community or company. |
