Some are Watch The Heirs Onlineborn to rescue ducks, and some have duck rescue thrust upon them.
The latter was true for Tampa Bay man Eric Pelno, who found himself tasked with rescuing between 15 and 20 errant ducklings last Saturday during a trip to Busch Gardens.

Turns out, the object was a living baby duck that had fallen from a ledge about 30 feet above them. (It was trying to reach its mother down below.)

It wasn't long before other ducklings started to tumble. Some even jumped two at a time, like semiaquatic lemmings.
Pelno's response? Gotta catch 'em all.
"Eric just went into beast mode and started catching ducklings from the sky!" Pelner's girlfriend, Channing Deren, wrote in a Facebook post.
"I was doing ok until they started jumping two at a time haha," Eric added. Understandable.
Still, Eric managed to save every single jumping duck — although the first jumper did sustain an injured leg.
Next time, we wish you would step back from that ledge, ducklings.
