The Pied Piper of Sitia shows that while most follow the money, the Sitia ducks follow the food!
One of our amazing volunteers, a man named Bob Body, feeds the sitia ducks several times a week.
They have learnt the sound of his car, and when he arrives they come and gather around and wait for him to park, then they proceed to follow him to the feeding area.
One of our local fishermen help Bob, by looking after the ducklings, he has created a little enclosure beside the steps, and they are safe in there from predators, until they are old enough and strong enough to go out with the rest of the flock.
All together there are around 50 ducks and geese now on the pond…. (which equals a large amount of food!)
Bob also is one of the key people that look after the feeding stations that you see around our town.
This means collecting the food from the shelter before going to town. Then he thoroughly cleans the feeders and water containers before filling them up again.
Bob like all our volunteers at the shelter, gives all his time and energy for free, not only doing the above, but helping when ever he is needed.
Without the help of our amazing volunteers we would not be in the place we are today…..
Thank you bob, and Thank you to all our volunteers, each and every one of you helps make a huge difference in all the animals lives, and without you the shelter would not be the success it is today.
