Milly the Mallard
Milly is a sweet little mallard hen who is the queen of our flight pen. In 1992, we were contacted about a little duck in desperate need of help. She was found in a garbage can outside a restaurant. She was missing her eyes. Sadly, in some cultures it is considered a delicacy to eat the eyes of living ducks. That is what happened to Milly. She was brought to the Sanctuary and where her wounds were healed. She now gets around with the help of a chicken who was also cruelly injured by its former owner. Milly has thrived and has reached the age of 20, way past her life expectancy. She love to swin in the pond and sit in the sun. She’s our little warrior and we love her so much!

Pierre was rescued as a baby and came to the sanctuary because he was slated to be killed. He couldn’t stand or walk because he had some sort of neurological damage: he would flip over, and his head was twisted unnaturally to one side.
Terri constructed a special support device similar to a baby’s Johnny Jump-Up for Pierre that allowed him to stand upright, be fed upright, and start moving his legs so that his muscles could start developing. After four months of continuous therapy and muscle stimulation, Pierre was able to remain upright on his own and started walking.
He is now completely recovered and even has attracted the attention of a lovely female duck. This is truly a miraculous recovery.
Sponsoring Pierre will allow him to live out his life at the sanctuary in comfort and happiness. To sponsor one of our wonderful animals at the Sanctuary, click here.
