Jemima Puddleduck the bird, living in sanctuary at The Gentle Barn Missouri

Jemima was bought as an Easter gift. The family was not prepared to have a baby duck and kept her in their bathtub until they realized that they were not allowed to have ducks at their house. Not knowing what to do with her, the family contacted us and we invited her to live with us in safety. Jemima will hopefully deter families from buying baby animals as gifts without forethought about the adults they will grow into or the commitment and care they will need.
