💔 Thank you for holding Daisy — and me — in your hearts. Your condolences have meant everything.

I'm truly heartbroken. I miss seeing that little grey heart-shaped spot of feathers on her bottom amongst all her white feathers as she'd honk at me, then sashay past me and down the aisles while we put everyone to bed...like hurry up and next. Sweet girl we all miss you.

To Joie, Sarah, Erin, and Christine — thank you for the p*e pads for Daisy. To Kelly for the zip ties and tarp. It helps more than you know, and what remains will go toward future medical care for the birds.

And a separate thank you to the anonymous friend who sent duck pellets on Chewy 🦆

Winter is coming fast, and we could still use a few more tarps and heated water bowls/buckets. They're on our Amazon Gift List 🎁🦆❤️

Im in the med building holding Daisy.
She may fly the stars tonight.

💔 A hard Daisy update.

She was turning a corner — eating really well, everything moving through. Then last night her breathing went off, and today she's tired and breathing more labored. Less interested in food. I don't know if some of her meds slipped into her lungs when she fussed at the last minute, or if the fluid/infection in her belly is pushing on her lungs now.

She spent today outside with her family in the warmth. I wanted her and them to have that in case. Another day together and an evening patrolling Duck Village as I put everyone to bed. Tonight she's back inside, resting.

Please keep her in your thoughts. 🤍💔😢

Her appointment is Friday morning at 1030 at AMC Wyoming. She can't get in any sooner.

🎉 ADOPTED! 🎉

Remember Dolly, the house duck from Holland? She's home! 🏡

Josh and his family welcomed her last weekend. He first applied months ago, but his enclosure didn't meet our requirements — so he asked what to fix, did the work, and reapplied. When another adopter passed on Dolly, it all came together.

Josh says she's integrated well and seems happy — and his kids say "she has found her big girl voice." 🦆

Congratulations, Dolly! 💛

More ducks from this spring are still waiting for forever homes: a pair of Khaki Campbells and 4 Pekins (1 drake, 3 hens). Adoption requires predator-proof housing and enclosure — message us to apply!

Volunteer takeover 💓🌻🦆

She’s gonna kill me for posting this, so hopefully she doesn’t see it until morning 🙃

This is our incredible director.

Today, after a week of "We'll do our best" that could have easily been a series of "No," she worked her second job, checked on our quarantine and medical birds, solo cleaned TEN stink-bootied duck coops, cared for her human family, and somehow still ended the day right here, gently cradling sweet Daisy. I wish I could communicate in writing the way Daisy and so many of our birds melt into Jen like butter on toast.

No extraordinary rescue story for tonight. No dramatic intake. Nothing glamorous or flashy. Just a little appreciation for the Boss Lady who keeps this place held together.

We see you, Jen. Even if you'd probably prefer we didn't call you out on it 💙🪿🦆

**Neighbor-group post:** NOTE. WE ALREADY RESCUED 2 OF THE 3 PREVIOUS POSTED. STITCH GOT OUT OF OUR NET

LOST GUINEA FOWL — Godwin Heights area, Grand Rapids

Our rescue guinea fowl Stich escaped during a rescue on Sept 22 and is still missing. He's been spotted several times in the neighborhood, but we're about an hour away — every time we get there, he's moved on.

Please DO NOT CHASE him — he flies. If you see him, note the exact location and time and message Wanderlust Acres Animal Sanctuary right away (here on Facebook, or Instagram WanderlustAcresAnimalSanctuary).

We want to reunite him with his flockmates Lilo and Nani. Thank you!

Daisy update 💔

Our girl is in trouble. The vet found a belly full of infection and fluid, and she's thin. That metal object is still floating around in there. They couldn't do bloodwork because of the adhesions.

She's on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories now, but the prognosis is unsure to not great. Right now she just needs to eat — if it comes back up, it means she's blocked, and things get dire.

Please, send every prayer and good vibe you've got for our Daisy. 🪿💛
