Muscovy duck lost all her babies

[vertigocave]

A wild muscovy duck that visits me often came around with 3 babies and she lost her last one earlier today. She seems to be really sad, moving slower, sleeping a lot more. She keeps making this kind of repetitive high chirping noise. I’ve never seen her act like this or make that noise. Is there anyway to make her feel better or recover from this?

Seems as though she is calling for the baby. It must be hard for her.

Did you see what happened to the baby?

If it is wild there is nothing you can do about it. Don't try to intervene with her, you might make her more worried.
