I am a grown man and nearly crying.
I have had a duck been visiting me for YEARS ( i would say at LEAST five years ) here at 33 Millard Ave., Kuripuni and she had a baby who i have seen grown up over the last two months or so.
I have named the mother "Quacky Mc Quack Quack". :)

I have had a duck been visiting me for YEARS ( i would say at LEAST five years ) here at 33 Millard Ave., Kuripuni and she had a baby who i have seen grown up over the last two months or so.
I have named the mother "Quacky Mc Quack Quack". :)
They have really made my day when they visit.
They obviously trust me and trust my cats whom they frequently bully to get their food.
They live in a paddock directly opposite me.
I try and walk them across the road as I did today.
Unfortunately, I let them down very badly and was not quick enough when when one did not scurry out of the way in time for an idiot white ute driver and went under the wheels.
It is injured.
wing and leg.
It was heartbreaking to see the other duck rush back to the injured family member.
it has managed to somehow pull itself off the road and tried hard to climb through the wire fence and then made it.
she is not walking, more pushing herself along
i have circled where i think they live.
I have just gone back to take a photo of her, but she has managed to drag herself off somewhere. She was breathing pretty hard.
Can anyone please help this duck?
I don't know if there is a bird sanctuary if a vet can help or worse comes to worse, put her out of her misery?
I don't know whether to ask my across neighbour if i can look for her on their property, or wait to see if they or one of them comes back here.
Please message me if you can help. 021 134 2089
I feel so bad and sad that I did not look after her enough and let her down.
i COULD of run out on the road, but thought the idiot will slow down. but no, he just plowed into them and kept going.

Memory foam works by softening in response to body heat, molding your shape, and providing a customized sleep experience.
However, while it offers some support and comfort, standard memory foam can have downsides like heat retention, sagging over time, and limited motion absorption.
Understanding TEMPUR® Material: How It’s Different
TEMPUR® material was also developed from NASA technology, but it has been engineered and refined for superior sleep comfort. Unlike standard memory foam, TEMPUR® material adapts instantly to weight, shape, and temperature for more personalized support.
Key Advantages of TEMPUR® Material
Precise body-contouring support that reduces pressure points.
Enhanced motion absorption, so you won’t feel your partner move.
Long-lasting durability, maintaining shape and support for years.
Cooling technology to regulate body temperature for a restful sleep.
TEMPUR® mattresses provide a premium sleep experience, designed to enhance comfort and support better than regular memory foam.
TEMPUR® vs. Memory Foam: Key Differences That Matter
While both materials contour to the body and reduce pressure points, TEMPUR® technology takes comfort and support to the next level.
Motion Absorption and Sleep Disturbance
Memory foam absorbs some movement, but it can still transfer motion—meaning your sleep may be disturbed if your partner moves.
TEMPUR® material is designed to fully isolate motion, ensuring uninterrupted rest even if your partner tosses and turns.
Pressure Relief and Spinal Support
Standard memory foam provides some pressure relief, but it loses support over time, leading to discomfort. TEMPUR® mattresses offer superior spinal alignment and even weight distribution, making them ideal for those with back pain, joint pain, or circulation issues.
Durability and Longevity
Regular memory foam can lose its shape and start sagging after just a few years. TEMPUR® mattresses are designed to maintain their shape and support for over a decade.
Investing in TEMPUR® means longer-lasting comfort and better value over time.
Heat Retention and Cooling Technology
Traditional memory foam tends to trap body heat, leading to discomfort, especially in warmer climates. TEMPUR® Breeze™ technology helps regulate temperature and provides a cooler sleep surface, ensuring comfort all night long.
Why TEMPUR® Mattresses Are Worth the Investment?
A mattress is a long-term investment in your health, comfort, and quality of sleep. While TEMPUR® mattresses may cost more upfront, they provide superior durability, comfort, and performance compared to standard memory foam.
Better pressure relief and spinal support for long-term wellness.
Superior motion absorption for undisturbed sleep.
Longer lifespan, outlasting regular memory foam mattresses.
Cooling technology, making it comfortable in all seasons.
If you want the best possible sleep experience, TEMPUR® is worth the investment.
