Since 1980, the kind folks over at Animals Australia have been working hard to make sure all of the furry, feathery, and scaly friends in nature have protection and are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve.
The organization aims to inspire everyone to treat the animals they see with generosity and good will. And their mission seems to have worked, judging by this compilation of life-saving heroes they’ve observed over the years giving assistance to various duck families across the country.
This guy who went head-first into a sewer drain for one little duckling.
This driver who stopped traffic for this a feathered family.
This man who braved highway traffic for this small family.
These strangers who worked together to block off a route for this family.
This man who helped a group of ducklings make a soft landing.
This group who scooped up a lost little guy for his nearby mama duck.
You can watch each incredible rescue in action in this video:

These heroes definitely restore my faith in the kindness of humans. No matter how small the life may seem, we can all chip in to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy.
