Re: black-bellied whistling tree ducklings - advice please

Again, I'd say let them go. These are not pets. There are regulations against keeping native birds as pets, I believe. Read the link I mentioned earlier and contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation expert. Birds are wild. They can survive in the wild. They are not pet store bought creatures. Nature provides for its own. Some young die, others survive. Let life take its course, or at least put it in the hands of someone who's trained to take care of sick, injured or malnourished animals.
