Man's Attempt to Help Ducklings Ruffles Feathers of Their Protective Momma

No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes, and one South Carolina good Samaritan found out, as his attempt to help some ducklings seriously ruffled the feathers of their protective momma.

Sarah Mikkelsen told Storyful that she and her boyfriend, Brian Surguy, were driving out of their Mount Pleasant neighborhood when they saw the ducklings struggling to get up a curb onto a footpath.

She started recording as Surguy ran over to help, thinking she would capture “a sweet moment”. What she got instead was some comedy gold, showing the mother duck going into attack mode and flying right at the hapless Surguy.

The commendable Surguy is not deterred from his kind act, however, and despite the assault manages to sneak back and help all the ducklings out of the street. Credit: Sarah Mikkelsen via Storyful
