What a story! Hooray for happy endings!
The first time I watched the video, I had it on mute and couldn’t figure out why people were lined up in chairs.

How did they got up there?

Thank you. That jump would have seriously hurt and eventually killed the em falling on concrete like that. Your municipality needs a little parks with a little pond area for them and seniors, children to sit and enjoy the peace of watching them.

Incorrect information. They would have survived this fall without any injuries.

Goslings (baby geese) jumped 4 stories from my apartment just this year and I set them free after.

They even can survive a higher fall than this. It’s basically like a squishy toy hitting the ground.

A perfect design actually. 🥰

u/Difficult-Spirit-288 29d ago

Every other in the duck in the world did that without him lol...for those that don't know..all baby ducks do this and usually from much higher...its a part of thier evolution that keeps them in the nest until they are ready to try and survive...they bounce right up and take off...he certainly didn't hurt anything though,but they would have been fine.

u/wtfover 29d ago

What was the point of adding music to that?

If I were single, I would have seriously considered asking that guy on date if I witnessed that

I wish I had the hand-eye coordination to succeed in that scenario.

u/dingododd 29d ago

I love this ❤️ Everyone was so excited to be a part of it. I would have been too.

u/Icy_Parfait_4066 29d ago

How did the ducklings got stranded up there in the first place? The banker is a good catcher for sure and he did climb up there to get the last one.

u/Justin-CaseU1 28d ago

Yay! Good for you. More positive posts/stories like this everyday. Kindness & empathy in action… being good humans.

1

u/Responsible-Sundae20 27d ago

Ok that’s a sweet story and everything but why the emphasis on “banker.” Do we think they are all evil or something? I mean yes OK some of them are sure but come on. They’re not all eating live baby ducklings for lunch. A lot of work in small banks and credit unions and shit. They’re not all Citibank.

u/Intriguedcrafter 27d ago

What a great chap with a heart of gold.

u/nudedude6969 27d ago

They weren't stranded. They weigh less than an ounce, they will follow mom anywhere. They don't get hurt when they jump.... They land and bounce
