I feel like I’ve seen this and they get them out, but that could well have been a separate video

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '22

Wishful thinking, if you’ve seen them saved, then they are safe

83

u/BrilliantTasty Sep 29 '22

I mean I can’t imagine any human watching this and not going to help.

If so they’re the next big serial killer

u/Thebenmix11 Sep 30 '22

Yeah, last time this was posted, someone linked a video of the ducks coming out. Let me see if I can find it.

Somehow they fell down the drain in the us and came out in russia

I love that last baby running like “wait for me mom!”

u/IchWerfNebels Sep 30 '22

We all realize those are different drains and different ducks, right...?

9

u/Sub-Scion Sep 30 '22

I thought the same, but after closer inspection it looks like the same location from two different perspectives (and quality of camera).

The wall partition in the background, the dark stain on the concrete, and the evergreen tree on the left all match up.

The first angle just doesn't show the third drain that's further to the right

you might not realize that by typing that out and hitting enter, you've gone out of your way to make people sad.

just let 'em have this. k?

u/imakeonionscryy Sep 29 '22

The video continues and all the ducklings were rescued. :)

u/Zemirolha Oct 05 '22

A big party celebrated it. Full of chicken wings, barbecue ribs and fish sticks

u/phreakzilla85 Sep 29 '22

I’ve seen this video before, and all the comments suggested that the ducklings were saved. I’m gonna choose to believe it’s true.

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '22

I was traveling 70 mph in a semi weighing 75k and passed a duck family the same size. I was able to swerve and miss them, but my draft sent them flying, that wouldn’t have killed them There was a car 40 yards behind me…I keep,thinking the way you do.

13

u/FattThor Sep 30 '22

Ducks are suppose to fly, right? Right?

6

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

The babies got a quick tumbling lesson :(

6

u/keeperrr Sep 30 '22

Yea. The car behind was also traveling so fast that the air in front of the car blew the light ducklings right over it, and they floated back to the ground, all alive and well scrambling back to mad mum who just had us crossing a damned highway

Can.... can turkeys not fly?

They can just not far. They are in the stupid wings family of birds.. not to be confused with the retarded wings family of birds which includes ostriches and penguins.

I know this isn't what you meant, but in structural engineering k means kips which are units that mean 1000 lbf. I know it also just means one thousand to others, but it's just great.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '22

Uummm 75 units of 1000 lbs

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

I've actually seen the video of them getting pulled out. I saw it a year or two ago but I did see it.

21

u/10TheDudeAbides11 Sep 30 '22

Honestly think that last duckling was like “oh shit, these holes took the others out. Let me try to jump to the next solid part…” which clearly didn’t work. But think it was at least thinking of the semi-right thing to do…

u/hmarieb263 Sep 30 '22

Must follow mom...must follow mom...all my instincts say must follow mom...maybe if I jump reeeaallly far...crap.

u/trou_bucket_list Sep 29 '22

Who the fuck just stops the video here! Show the rescue

Someone came by and rescued them

One way to get out of responsibility

u/TrickTails Sep 30 '22

I do remember a video being posted on Reddit a while back. It was someone saving some baby-ducklings from a grate. It might’ve been a separate video, but I hope it’s the same.

u/TurnkeyLurker Oct 05 '22

How do you know I didn't push them, huh MOM??

2

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

They were behind a fence, and then saved the ducklings after taking the video

2

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '22

Someone helped literally seconds after this ends. All of those ducks were fine

3

u/Shagcat Sep 30 '22

Thank you. I was so upset about this I had tears in my eyes.

u/Helpful-Substance685 Sep 30 '22

Me too. I started misting up with the first duckling and it was about to get to ugly cry when the rest went in. I so glad they were ok!

u/No_Big3332 Sep 30 '22

Camera man - hold my camera

u/Crepes_for_days3000 Sep 30 '22

As a newish Mom, this is heartbreaking to watch. I have to believe they got out and are now living happily together in a beautiful pond.

u/Iwill_not_comply Sep 30 '22

What the duck?

-1

u/Inkstinker Sep 30 '22

This video goes on for an uncomfortably long time after those babies all fall in. Turn off your camera and call animal control!!

-5

u/T0m0king Sep 30 '22

Strictly speaking Ur not supposed to intervene while the mother is looking as ducks have been known to reject ducklings that have been in direct contact with people killing them in some cases.

4

u/DeebsterUK Sep 30 '22

That's a myth. Birds don't have a great sense of smell and anyway parents throughout the animal kingdom won't abandon their young over a slight difference in their scent.

For example: https://www.livescience.com/33620-baby-bird-touch-mother-abandon.html

3

u/T0m0king Sep 30 '22

I swear Ive heard a half dozen wildlife programs tell ppl not to help for that exact reason , I wonder how much damage the propagation of that myth has done to duck populations.

2

u/T0m0king Sep 30 '22

On second thoughts maybe they just said that so ppl wouldn't pick up ducklings for pictures.

I’ve seen this before and I think someone does help and get the babies out for her but I might be wrong

Yeah man the cameraman should’ve magically predicted it and teleported over there instantly to prevent it.
