Basically when I was in work the yesterday a man came in handcuffed to a police man and dripping wet with a duck in his hands (the duck looked dead tbh) The man explained that two boys had throw a brick at this duck and it hit it on the back of his head, the man dove in the water as the duck was still floating but its head was under water and brought it to the side. The boys ran off and he chased, he only caught one - the one that threw the brick and battered him. The boy rang the police and the man was not bothered, he just held the boy so he couldn't run and waited. The police man was taking the boy and the man to the station as the boy had harmed a duck in protected waters ( was an animal sanctuary thingy) and the man got done for violence obv. The man said the policeman had to pass by a vets on the way to get the duck checked out as it was still alive but not concious. So we took the duck in and had him in an oxygen tent and were checking his head out. He has quite a nasty cut to the back of his head. An hour later we were gonna put him to sleep thinking there was nothing more we could do, but low and be hold he woke up when we moved him. We put him in a kennel with food and water and waited to see what happened, anyway he couldn't really move, everytime he stood up he fell to the left. I ended up taking him home and I have to bathe his head twice a day. He is now eating and drinking and he has been out of his cage (he is in a large dog cage for like a labrador sized dog) and can kinda wobble about. This morning I filled the bath up and let him swim, its the best I can do..but it seems to have helped him greatly, he walked from my bedroom door to his cage and hopped in, fell over twice, but not bad considering, I have named him Mr Crepsley

What a horrible child.

Oh i am soooo jealous, i love ducks...i want one. There is a field behind where i work and there are 8 ducks and every morning i count them hoping that no foxes have got them or cats or anything.

Awwwwwwwwww hi Mr Crepsley, hope you are feeling much better soon.

Please keep us updated with his progress x>>
 
I will do :) He is amazing, can't believe that he is still alive to be honest, he looked dead when he came in, I think I was the only one bothering with him as everyone else had given up on him. He keeps popping over to the guinea pigs cage to have a nosey at them and to steal hay and veg, they will share their hay, but not their veg! Haha.
 
OMG, when/where does a child learn that its ok to throw bricks at harmless and defenseless animals - this really frustrates me.

Glad Mr Crepsley has been rescued and is being cared for. Wishing him a speedy recovery x
 
Aw, poor little fella, we rescued 2 duck eggs from a nest which had been distroyed by a fox when i was a little girl, we took them home and out them in a box on some towels with 2 desk lamps over the box to keep them warm, they hatched and we had a boy and a girl, we called the boy meatloaf, i cant remember what the girl was called. we had a large garden so we kept them and they bred and had their own babies, so it soon became too much and we released them all into the wild. So i do have a soft spot for ducks, and love this time of year when all of the ducklings are about squeeking and following their mums. We have a rivwr that runs alongside our caravan plot and there are so many ducks and babies on there, its so sweet to see them, we hadn't been there for a couple of week and its so surprising how quickly they grow up.
 
WOW! What a fabulous story. Well done you and well done Mr Crepsley xxxxx

I really don't get why the Police were arresting the guy though! Lock the little tikes up and throw away the key until they learn to respect the beautiful creatures we share our planet with. There was a report on teletext last week that children and youths in Norfolk were stamping on baby ducklings - I so wanted their names and addresses. I weigh about 20 stone and I'd be only too happy to stamp on them!
 
not saying what i really think............disgusted ......:x

Oh hello Mr. Crepsley you're a boooooootiful duckie whee all hope that you recover and get to fly and be free again soon XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

GOOD LUCK oh i do hope he survives what a horrible ordeal for him..........so innocent.....i just don't understand why or how anyone could do this to a gorgeous beautiful animal 8...8...

yes please keep us updated and THANKYOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

omg that is just awful :( what a crap world sometimes
 
Wish I'd checked this before I put him back in the bath or I would have videoed him swimming around :) Will get one tomorrow :) He can stand up and clean himself now too :) he couldn't do that this morning so seems like it won't be long :)
 
lol ta, i cant wait, hes just gorgeous x

when you let him go, tell him to swim up the canal to Carnforth and i will look out for him, i know 8 duckies that will look after him and an office full of girlies x
 
What a lovely duckie. Who can do such a horrible thing to an innocent little beauty like Mr Crepsley? :0 Hooray for the man who stepped in to show that little thug a lesson. Just a shame he got into trouble for it :(
 
That is awful. These children are vile, it worries me what sort of a world we are living in. Fairplay to the man who rescued the duckie, what a hero, just hope he doesn't get in trouble for it. Hope Mr Crepsley recovers fine.
 
Awww well done for saving him, he is very handsome!

My sister loves ducks and can't stop 'awwwing!' at him. Really hope he continues getting better! x
 
well done for all your care with this little man - loved the pics of him swimming in your bath. Good on the man for hitting the little oik who harmed the duck too.
 
What the h*ll?! What is the point?! Throwing a brick at a duck for no reasons?
Retarded people. What do they get from it? Oooh, I killed a duck today. *Spasdicated smile* I'm so good! :(|)

I hope they get what they deserve.. and why was the man punished? The law needs to care more about animals - that boy could have killed that duck, and he would just gangster limp away.
Karma will get them both, stupid *****. pow-pow pow-pow pow-pow

Hope he gets better soon! Such a lovely looking ducky... x)
But big thanks to the man who saved him! xx>>> xx>>>

Thats amazing and frankly I applauded the man who battered the teenager, I'm sorry he'll properly get something bad for sticking up for our animals. Too many people just shrug it off or just get angry, these kids need proper disablin, perhaps not a thrashing but some cell time would do the trick, it did with my nephew when he started hanging out with bad kids (he didn't do anything) but one night in a cell and he's stayed away from them since.
 
He is doing fine, don't think he will be going back to the wild though...as he has a lean that we do not think will go away. So not sure that he will be able to be released, may have to keep him and get some chickens to keep him company. :)

wotttttt...ok I'm jealous :p
 
Well done you for taking him in, poor guy! So glad to hear he is doing well. It's a shame that he probably won't make it back into the wild but I'm sure he will have a fantastic life with you. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos! And maybe a video? :)
 
Though I was gonna have to put Bruno down today (he is now called Mr Bruno Crepsley) he randomly lost the ability to move at all...and his head had gone all floppy, took him to the vets and he has had a shot of antibiotic & metacam and he is now right as rain again. I have extended his pen outside and he now has a paddling pool in the pen for him to swim :) will try and get a vid tomorrow:)
 
Looking forward to video of Bruno! I soo love ducks! Tell him to swim down to Norfolk and he can meet the others who live round here! xx
 
Horrible event, reassuring story

I do get angry over these scenarios, and my inclination would have been to hit the boy in the back of the head with a brick and afterward to hold his head under water for a while, and then kick him in the behind for good measure while I sat on him to await the police.

God bless you for not giving up on the duckie, for treating him as though he were living rather than as though he were already dead. Even if he eventually does not survive this onslaught, at least he will have had loving, kind days toward the end.
 
I bought Bruno a girlfriend today, a kahki campbell duck, picks will be up soon, she isn't home yet we are nearly though, she's very good in a car - just sat in my foot well. Get think of unusual girls names, she's brown and speckled :D
