Susie's Duck Sanctuary

About us:  
Susie's Duck Sanctuary was created to help rescue, rehab and rehome non-native ducks here in Hawaii, and transition them into pets. This takes them out of the environment so that they don’t harm Native species, and at the same time, it helps Hawaiian home owners have wonderful, loving companions who can help keep their yards free of pests like slugs and snails.
We are volunteers who just care about the wellbeing of these wonderful ducks and want to share them with those who will love them too.  
These ducks are only to be pets, not for food.    

Due to the events in November, we are not able to take in any ducks right now.  But, we are helping to facilitate adoptions,
​so please let us know how we can help.  
We are looking for foster homes to help with ducks in need!  
Please contact us for help with injured ducks!

Meet Miss Chatty Kathy!  
She flew into a yard and was attacked by a dog.  She is healing well and will be available for adoption in a few weeks.  
She is the sweetest, most talkative little girl.  She was a handraised pet and is very happy to be around people.  She is a few years old, and needs lots of  love and attention.  

Meet the Lost Boys
They were born in the wild after their parents were dumped in Kailua.  They were lovingly raised by their Papa.  The boys are very sweet, goofy and love food.  They are still skittish around people, but are going to be your best friend if you have food.  The more time you spend with them, the more they will trust you.  Their second favorite thing to do is sit in their pool!  You must have water for them to hang out in!

Meet Jet
Jet is a single boy who flew into a yard in Wahiawa.  He is ver people oriented.  He will be right next to you to let you know when he is hungry.  He is a nibbler, but he is not trying to hurt you.  He loves sitting up on things, so you will need to have a perch for him, or he will pick one for himself. He would love a lady friend, but is very young and needs to learn how to be a gentleman still.

If you find an abandoned duckling...
Most Important...Please keep the duckling warm!!!  Place them in a small box lined with a clean towel.  Place some form of heat under the box.  For example, a heating pad on low, hot hands packet, or a sock filled with rice and microwaved for a few seconds.  Ducklings cannot produce their own heat.  Being cold is the worst thing for them.
They only need the lid of a jar with water in it.  If they get wet and can not dry or get warm, they will get too cold and not survive.  For food, you can give them oatmeal or frozen peas.  They are tiny, so they only need a few oats and/or peas.  (thaw the peas, and remove the hull, then mush up the peas).  Place the oats or mushy peas in the lid of water. 

Muscovy Ducks in Hawaii
Muscovy ducks were brought to Hawaii hundreds of years ago by Portuguese traders. They are originally from South America, and they thrive in tropical environments. ​
