If you find a duckling or gosling alone, search for a nearby parent and try to safely reunite them. If you find multiple ducklings or goslings, contain them by placing them under a laundry basket. Wait to see if the mother returns. If she does not return, contact one of the rehabilitators listed below.

What else can I do? - Listed below are volunteers who are authorized to care for sick, injured or orphaned ducks and geese with the intent of returning them back to the wild. Ducks and geese are protected by federal and state law and special permits are needed to handle these birds.
