Special Duck Re-learns How To Walk With The Help Of a Special Wheelchair
Woodstock Farm Sanctuary is a non-profit organization located in High Falls, New York, USA. The staff helps different animals who are in difficult conditions. The center has 132,000 followers on Instagram. Today we’re sharing the story of one Woodstock Farm Sanctuary ward. Meet a white Peking duck named Kiwi.
After an encounter with a predator, the duck was paralyzed. The poor thing could no longer move around on its own, but it wanted to. When the brave little bird was brought to the center, the staff began to look for ways to help the poor thing get back to normal life as much as possible.
Kiwi is only 10 months old, but during this time she managed to undergo physiotherapy and visit several states, trying on a special walking chair. Now she is re-learning how to walk by operating an ATV. Reminds you of the character in the movie “Mad Max”?
Bionic Pets, a company that specializes in prosthetic pets, created a stroller, especially for Kiwi. The duck has two sets of wheels: one for walking outside, and the other – in the house. The bird is no longer confined to one area.
The organization was founded in 2004. During that time, its employees rescued 380 different animals.
