Fluffy cuteness overload in Vanier Park

When I think back to my childhood and the 80's ritual of sitting down to watch BCTV News at the dinner table with my family, one particular Mike McCardell slice-of-life news story always pops in my head, and that is one of people helping ducks cross

When I think back to my childhood and the 80's ritual of sitting down to watch BCTV News at the dinner table with my family, one particular Mike McCardell slice-of-life news story always pops in my head, and that is one of people helping ducks cross the road. In his career I imagine he did more than one similar story, and it's something that happens every spring in every city around this province. I was thrilled yesterday to see our friends the Museum of Vancouver post the video below of the ducks that were born in their courtyard. It's become an annual tradition over there that a mother duck will lands in their enclosed courtyard to lay her eggs. After the ducklings hatch and grow up a little, the mother duck "knocks" on their door to ask them to help the little fuzzies out into Vanier Park, and the below cuteness ensues.
