A Duck Tale: Ocean-Crossing Journey Reunites Feathered Family
When Love Knows No Bounds
Wobbles and Bean have been central to Amelia's life for nearly a decade. Their story shows how far someone will go to keep their family together—even when that family has feathers.
Amelia hatched Wobbles herself back in 2014. Bean joined their little family a year later when he was just two days old. The trio became inseparable.
From America to London and Back Again
When Amelia's life took her to London from the United States, her feathered companions naturally moved with her. The ducks adapted to their new home across the pond, and life continued happily for the unusual family.
Then 2020 arrived, bringing unexpected challenges. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Amelia needed to return to America. This created a serious problem—the United States doesn't legally recognize ducks as pets and maintains strict rules about bringing poultry into the country.
Separation and Determination
The thought of leaving Wobbles and Bean behind completely broke Amelia's heart. She refused to accept this as the final answer.
A kind friend stepped up to care for the ducks temporarily while Amelia searched for a solution from her new location in America. She contacted every pet transport company in the United Kingdom, but no one could help her reunite with her feathered family members.
Hope seemed lost. For two years, Amelia lived separated from her beloved ducks.
A Fortunate Connection
In 2022, a breakthrough finally happened. Amelia met her current partner, who worked for a company with its own internal pet relocation service. They agreed to take on the challenge of bringing Wobbles and Bean to America.
This wasn't a simple task. No protocol existed for moving two pet ducks internationally. Wobbles and Bean became pioneers, creating the paper trail that would allow other ducks to make similar journeys in the future.
The Emotional Reunion
After years apart, Amelia worried her ducks might not recognize her. Those fears vanished instantly when Wobbles and Bean saw her approach their crate. They rushed to the front, quacking excitedly at the sight of their long-lost human.
Together Again
Thanks to Amelia's unwavering determination, the family is now permanently reunited. These days, Wobbles and Bean follow Amelia everywhere, sticking to her like Velcro.
Their remarkable journey across an ocean proves that family bonds come in all forms—sometimes with webbed feet and feathers.
