Just the seeds, no bagel.
A mother Mallard Duck
trailed by eight ducklings
fl apped their way through
the streets of Park Slope on
Monday — and made time for
a nosh.
The winged family was
spotted by Park Sloper Doug
Gordon waddling down Fifth
Avenue near Fifth Street on
the afternoon of June 14.
“I saw this woman in front
of MS 51 taking a picture
and a bunch of people laughing,
looked up and there
were a bunch of ducks that
were emerging from under
an NYPD van,” Gordon told
Brooklyn Paper.
Gordon said on Twitter the
feathered family was helped
across Fifth Avenue by kindhearted
COURIER L 44 IFE, JUNE 18-24, 2021
Park Slopers, who
stopped traffi c to help them
get to the other side safely.
“They started to cross the
street so a bunch of people did
that thing that New Yorkers
do and got involved to help
A mama duck and her ducklings adventure through Park Slope. Doug Gordon
them cross the street,” he
said. “It was delightful.”
The confused birds then
wandered into Bagel World on
the corner of Fourth Street,
where according to Gordon
they stayed for several minutes
before employees of the
bagel shop were able to lure
them outside with bread
crumbs and point them in the
direction of Prospect Park.
A man on Fourth Street
took the reins from there.
“There was one man a couple
addresses up who was like
‘I got it’ and started to walk
up the street,” said Gordon.
“I guess he was going to help
get them closer to Prospect
Park.”
The ducks did make it to
Prospect Park safely, according
to Gordon.
“Out for a walk and I overheard
someone talking about
the ducks,” he posted on
Twitter after the escapade.
“I stopped to ask about them.
He accompanied them all the
way up to the park and they
went into the woods. Happy
ending!”
Ducked in!
