From tiny fluffballs to elegant and regal juveniles, their transformation has been incredible to witness. As they hit the \u2018big\u2019 water for the first time, they put on the most joyful display &#8211; a true celebration of life and freedom. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of the impact of the work we do at our rehabilitation centre. It\u2019s stories like this that make us proud to be a part of something so meaningful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;\"><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=524&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1319344879725171%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"524\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If you&#8217;d like to contribute to the continued care of wild ones like this, our banking details are below:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Friends of Free Wildlife<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Bank: Nedbank Limited<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Account No: 1135 622 957<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>SWIFT: NEDSZAJJ<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Thank you for helping us keep the wild in wildlife.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 130%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/friendsoffreewildlife\">Follow us on Facebook for more heartwarming stories.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week six beautiful African Black Ducks found their freedom after spending the past three months in our care.
