Ducks rescued from grain bags in Mayo estate

A FLOCK of lucky ducks had their feathers ruffled but appeared relatively unscathed after being found in bags at a Mayo housing estate.

North West SPCA in Ballina reported their lucky escape on social media last night.

A member of the public came upon the ducks tied in grain bags at the gable of a house in a residential area, gasping for air.

The SPCA said they contacted the local gardaí who responded promptly.

The ducks were surrendered to North West SPCA.
