A distraught mother duck was reunited with her ducklings with a helping hand from the Watertown Department of Public Works.
On April 29, the City’s Animal Control office received a call from two residents on Arsenal Street who spotted the duck pacing around and calling for help, according to the report on WBZ Radio.
The ducklings had fallen into a storm drain, according to the City of Watertown’s social media post.
“DPW and Animal Control responded and, after some effort, were able to remove the drain cover and rescue all 13 baby ducks! They rejoined mom and waddled away,” the City’s social media post said.
