VIDEO: Ducklings take a trip across busy Chilliwack road with some human help

Mother duck and nine ducklings make way across Save-On parking lot to Salish Park Monday

It’s that time of year, when geese and their goslings and ducks and their ducklings are moving from nests to feeding areas to ponds.

And the danger is ever-present for this most ubiquitous of urban wildlife.

So it was nice to see a few humans help guide a mother duck and her nine ducklings across a Save-On-Foods parking lot and a busy road in Chilliwack to get to the pond at Salish Park on Monday (May 31).

The ducks were all the way at the Yale Road entrance to the Save-On-Foods when an off-duty security guard and some other citizens tried to guide the duck in the direction of downtown’s biggest source of water.

There were a few dicey moments as the mother duck did not like the exiting customers from Save-On, but eventually they made it. Traffic stopped on First and they got across.

Getting off the curb onto First and then up a curb near the pond was no small feet for the newborns, but eventually they all made it down and up, and eventually into the water.
