Duckling away from its Mum - the Adventures of SuckleDuck
UPDATE: SuckleDuck is now safe and happy with a kindly neighbour who has fostered ducks for years. Thank you all for your help!
I don’t know if this is some sort of Twelve Days of Christmas gag, but a duckling turned up in our backyard in Hayes Paddock just after 6am, following our cat Suckles like he’s Mum.
I have SuckleDuck in a shoebox, safe from the insatiable curiosity of our other cat Nermie, but what the Quack do I do with a Duckling away from his real Mum?
Advice, please!

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
