- When Steven found a baby duckling stranded in the pool at this apartment complex, he found a new friend. He was unable to reunite Cheerio with his duck family, so Steven made sure he was safe. Now that Cheerio has returned to the wild, he still visits Steven every day, and even brings his wild duck friends with him.

He needed Dad's approval on his lady friend :D
LOL
AND!!! She didn't have Any Tattoos!!!
@Randy Hilgeman Three months duck feed! Like a gentleman.
@@Sidowse The guy that took him in is Terrific! But how you're going to explain that to a possible wife is another thing. Well, Honey I grew up different than most Ducks. OMG--You're Gay??? NO, I have a human for a Dad/Mom! She cries softly---oh?!? My dad is Not going to like that! He was shot at by a human! He BARELY got away. Maybe we should elope?
She comes from a good duck family.
You know you're a cool dad when you let your kid fly, date, stay out late and use the pool! 🐥🦆
Ha!!
LOL...yeah thats one lucky duck :-)
I wish my parents were like that
So funny........good comment!
Hopefully the kid doesn't ask for the keys to the car.
Many years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I went backpacking to Europe for a few months and ended up staying in Germany for 1 year. I lived in this really old apartment with high ceilings and a musty smell. One day, I was laying down on the sofa watching TV and I noticed this small mouse coming out of the corner. He stared at me for a few seconds and looked curious but didn't seem too concerned about my presence. I didn't really do anything, I just looked at him and left him alone. As time went by, he kept showing up here and there until one day I decided to leave a piece of bread and some cheese in the middle of the living room. So, that same day he shows up again, while I'm watching TV, and decides to go and taste whatever I had left him. I didn´t move or do anything, so at the point, he probably knew that he was safe with me and that I was not going to harm him. From that day on, I gave him food every day and he would come out and hang out with me. We became friends and I named him Pepe. Eventually, I was able to feed him in his mouth and he would let me pet him. When it was time for me to get back home, I knew that if he would stay behind, the next tenant would probably kill him, so I decided to take him home with me, back to the US. I had to take him to the vet in Germany and he had to go through a quarantine process but he made it home to America and lived with me for another year and a few months until he passed away. Mice have a very short lifespan, they usually don't live more than 2 years, so he lived a long life, for being a mouse. Now, I'm in my 40s and I still think of him often and treasure the time we spent together. 😢
This is an awesome story, a lovely gift for both of you. Life would be unbearable without that kind of magic.
What a lovely story & a special friend u had 🐭
@@camez2345 Yes, I agree!
@@kikifromcali Yes, he was my little buddy!
as a rats and mice owner, I'm happy to see you guys made friends! I'm sure he lived a special life.
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be.
A child goes off to live it's life and comes back home every so often to say hi and spend time with dad? If that isn't the life of every growing adult, idk what is. This duck is your kid!
just took you advise about setting the things you love free... so i dropped off my puppies, kittens, baby and Smart TV in the forest. So far none came home.
@Moacoi especially the smart tv
@Moacoi or they can't find him
@@jase123111 HAHAHAHAHA!!! your comment made my morning:)))(yes, 2 months later)
IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOO
This duck have a better social life than me!
Vicky D. Better then mine for sure 😑
@Randy Hilgemandepressive for sure
@@danamazin8813 is this a joke?
No 😞 no joke
I know what you mean! Same
To anyone who says wild animals don’t have feelings, this one’s for you.
True❤️❤️
I mean I guess every animal has some type of feelings
@Johnny Eyeball ok brother 🤗
@@daryeusford9696 yeah every animal has feelings just try to touch their newborn we all will know than
Subscribe me for no reason definitely I’ll never make that mistake again😂😂
I bet he’s super confused as to why his dads not following him XD Maybe that’s why he keeps coming back “don’t worry dad! Watch me and maybe one day you’ll fly too!” 😂
1:28 "Come meet my dad. He's cool." He really is. We must protect this man at all costs. ❤ God bless his heart.
Cheerio is cool. And his dad is more cool for caring. 🙏
And I love the ones where the person lets the animal be free but they come back to visit of their own accord.
We can see it's mean a lot for him.
I was homeless for around 6 months and I spent alot of time under the bridge downtown. I had no friends and was about to end it all. BUT I had ducks as my friends. They got comfortable with me they would walk over my legs as I fed them. It helped me get through 🙏
Jason Wolski well I am glad that you’re ok. I hope life treats you well and your experiences made you stronger.
Jason Wolski Everybody has a purpose! You showed kindness to them, and they helped you get your life back! I am happy that they had you and you had them!
1 day, Mr. & Mrs. Cheerio will bring the little Cheerios to see their human granddad. 😊🦆🦆🐦🐦🐦🐦💞
Would love to see that video
I expect different cereal names for each baby💕
Agreed. One will be Cap'n, Cocoa puff, Trix, Pops, Lucky, Honey Nut, Fruit Loop...
@@s.e.e455 . Great suggestions. My suggestions are Multigrain, Oatsie & Cheerio Junior. 😁😅😆😂 But we won't know how many ducklings will be around until another video is put up.
I think ducklings can't fly
I love the way Cheerio's dad tells his story. A female came looking for him once..😆 cheerio is a ladies man😻
Cheerio is such a cute name for a duck
As it is said:
If you love something, let it go. If it never returns, it wasn't yours. If it does, keep it, for it is. In this case, he's given Cheerio full freedom of choice, Cheerio has chosen to stay close.
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
@The Slap ........
Dodge Man that’s a horrible quote...
@The Slap lol
Love this. Great intelligent and kind guy. He lets him be a duck and have a duck life and did not turn him into a pet. The way it should be.
100% !
You just know in ten years when he talks about his duck, he’ll get real quite and tear up like tough guys do when the love something smol.
Actually the duck turned the Human into a pet :-)
Travis Adams So True!
@@travisadams4470 that's the cat job
"He knows me, I know him. We've got a bond."
Such a lovely story.
*My pork sword is 6.5 inches long.*
this reminds me of my Wheet-Wheet. A freaked out baby duckling was abandoned near my house, we tried to find her family or other ducks, but after trying for days, she ended up imprinting & staying with me. Same story like this -
She was a trip! She was still as wild as she could be, only staying indoors at night, when we went to sleep. She was right with me, followed me everywhere - soo close that if I stopped walking, she would bang into the back of my foot. LOL
She stayed with me all summer, as I lived/ran condos right off the beach. She had a blast there, swimming & sunbathing, visiting with all of the guests, following me around while I cleaned rooms & did all my daily work. Everyone loved her. I called her Wheet-Wheet bc thats the little noise she made, Wheet Wheet Wheeting all day long, talking to me. Its funny, she LOVED Cheerios, that was her fave treat. When fall came, I took her over to my uncles house, bc he had families of ducks in his pond on his land. She LOVED IT! I stayed in a tent for the first 2 nights with her, to make sure she was ready. After that, she was golden. Now, she flies south every year and even comes back to the pond!! She brought her new family with her last year, I am very lucky to have bonded with such a beautiful, lovingly sweet, funny & smart creature. She really is my friend, forever.
Aw, this is such a lovely story! 😍 Thank you for sharing. Next time you see Wheet-Wheet, please give her a Cheerio from me 😎💕
Wow I love this!
Cheerio living his best duck life. Just chilling with buddies, spend time with his wife and visit his human friend.
We had a wild Mallard duck befriend us and become a pet for a long time. It had to have been 2-3 years. He lived on our property, on the pond. One day he left and didn’t return. I just imagine he found a lady friend and had a family.💗
Or a hunter shot him.
@@SabatezZ Jesus man
Or a hunter was him flying and uh yeah
@@SabatezZ mmm peking duck sweet glazed well with white rice quack quack
Dustin Tacohands
Nobody eats Mallards
It's so fascinating how all these baby animals get found without mom or dad around so these people just take them in to parent the animal as there own. The people that do that are so sweet and kind.
Right? It's like fated to happen.
Once any kind of bird imprints on you early in its life it's all over--you've got a buddy for a long time........all birds are very smart and they never forget.............
@@BullyG1 your right. And it's the fact that once the bird opens its eyes for the first time, the first thing that they see they think that its mom or dad.
@@jayabando6719 Yeah. But sometimes it seems as a happening from Above. Especielly as not seldom the Rescue has a major part in the live of the rescuing family. Saving somebody, or befriending an autistic child, and so on...
They are heroes.
I've made pets of ducks, chickens, turkeys, swans, etc. and they are all loving and affectionate or can be if you look at them as companions. I love this video!! What a gift this guy has been given.
*Cheerio* : Hey Dad, meet my girlfriend!
*Cheerio's girlfriend and Dad sizing each other up*
*Dad* : ...she's a keeper!
Glad ya rescued the babu duck and had every intention of making sure he was returned to the wild, that first flight he took and didn’t come home for a full day, that was a goal you accomplished and it must’ve felt good that you helped save a duck and let return to the wild.
BUT the duck chose to come back to you the next day and made the decision on his own to keep coming back to you despite having his freedom, even bringing his girlfriend and his friends to introduce you to them. Even flying over the area to see you. THAT is his own choice and your not forcing him, THAT is what I call special and I think others can agree with me on that to. :) so all and all, nicely done my friend, thanks to your deed, you were rewarded greatly with a very special relationship with a wildlife creature were some people would dream of having. :)
You’re not lying it is my dream
who knew, when you give a child freedom to do what they want for the most part and don't try to control all aspects of their life, they come back to you when they're older later on. Mind not Blown
Very well said😊😊
That cheerio duck is a cool guy. He's proud of his parent no matter what and shows him off to his friends without worrying that they might think he's a weird kid because his parent is totally "different"
@Tinyrocket the duck is not tame at all, he chose to come back to his rescuer after he took off that first time and didn’t come back after a full day, Cheerio made the decision to come back to the man but you don’t see the duck inside the guys house at all, you see a duck that has his freedom but chooses to come back. I’m sorry you don’t understand that but I can’t change your mind or make you understand. So all I can do is hope in time you come to understand that. 🙂
When you realize that there's some great duck romance happening out there and you're just sitting there be like:
Ye this is fine too😢
"I'm happy for him"
😞
Maybe don't be an embarrassing seen and go outside, learn some social skills and stop whining on the internet. YOU need to make a change to be happy.
@@theblackbaron4119 You're right. We could all take a lesson from your words. You seem really emotionally healthy 😒
I can genuinely feel the manly happiness in this guy's voice. He sounds so proud of his *BIG* boy!
This channel and these videos give me faith in humanity 🥺😍
I like ducks, they have the cutest waddles!
Your a duck too :P
I can relate with you,they also look like they are smiling a bit
Quak!
yes so cute 🥺🥺🥺
Chuck the Duck says: Love a Duck, DO IT TODAY!
The name Cheeeio is just so cute.
yes, *c h e e e i o* is very cute.
You’re an awesome guy for helping a little duckling, and Cheerio is never going to let you forget how grateful he is to have you in his life!
Oh my heart....those flat, patidy pat - pat bebe ducky footies. 💕🦆
I’m not crying, someone is cutting onions!
What a great guy, what a sweet story! That little duckling wouldn't have made it without him. 💞
What beautiful story. It is sweet to see such a tough guy be so loving.
1:58 The webbed toes pitter pattering😊
And he's so thicc too

The world is returning to a different relationship with animals . . . realizing we are all one ~
That's the gayest thing I've ever heard
Heck yes! I am so down for a world where we live in harmony
@@haxionbroodbountydroid4713 Congrats to the most idiotic comment on this channel.
@@ijustdontcareanymore1022 Well, thank you. What do I get?

When ducks have a relationship and you don’t 🤔
You're much better off on your own. Dating isn't what it used to be. It's terrible now.
@@torvamessorem6686 It really is. I'm halfway through life and every day I'm like oh god is this what it's going to be like for the next 50 years.
Torva Messorem agree. You just need to wait for the right one and not some person who’s for the streets
He was stranded in the pool but the pool’s owner welcomed him with open arms. Beautiful
I could live all day watch stories like this... filling up the dark hole 2020 has left in my heart. Hope everyone reading this is healthy and your loved ones too. I hope this year teaches us gratitude for all we have and we choose to love and give no place in our hearts for hate.❤🙏🥀🐛🦋
It's funny, sometimes I'll watch my kids viewing some video about fights or people failing and I tell them that whatever you put into your mind is what your mind becomes. Why choose to subject one's self to the worst examples of human behavior?
I too could watch these videos all day because I love how different species of animal seem to all be finding a common bandwidth for understanding.
Soon it will be "Make Way for Ducklings."
That is always interesting, witnessing mama duck and over half-dozen ducklings crossing street. Fortunately quiet one, and river was down the embankment.
What a cute large man he is 🥺❤️
@Randy Hilgeman I'm talking bout the human lol
Man that duck is living the life. He grew up with a nice house and pool, has a super cool dad that cares about him, a group of friends and a girlfriend. What more could anyone want
I absolutely love how he does everything a wild duck would but still keeps you as his friend as well! Its the best out come anyone could ask for, happy , loving little ducky boi
If only the world had more men like this 👍😍
It does. Only their "duck" is someone or something else to care for and they just don't get proper credit through videos like this one. :) This was cute.
@@JustMe-vk4fn unfortunately this specific duck was a shape changer and shifted into a man with daggers that took the life of this kind person. July 5th 2020, Never Forget.
See the fellow whose channel is "Kitten is a Life" (he lives in Morocco). Also the fellow in Turkey whose channel is "Walter Santi", and the fellow in (Belarus? or Russia?) in "CatPusic" [particularly the video RESCUE KITTEN !! (little Pusiс)]

@@behappy2166 yup I am and it's fun to spot wild armys.
This story was so nice how he chose to come back to visit you and brought his friends. Next time he may bring his ducklings for you to see.☺
I rescued a baby male ducking who's parents were either killed or he was stranded i raised him and he flew away when he got old enough compeltly wild. I do miss him though and his name was maxwell x3
Oh... I remember raising my ducks and sending them to nature, so this video gives me a lot of happiness. Thank you. dodo 👏😀👍🦆🦆🦆
That is just ducking awesome !!!🦆🦆🦆
This duck is so cute, the name "Cheerio" really suits him, greetings from a fellow Massachusetts person! 🤗🦆🦆🦆
Awwwe, you’re a good duck dad.
Awwww 🥰 what a wonderful man he is
Lovely story told by Daddy Duck. Made me smile!
steven said "I learned his fight route" proving that if we take a moment we learn from eachother, in our animal community.
I admire you for respecting the fact that Cheerio is still of the wild and did not attempt to domesticate him. Even in ykur footage, you don’t smother him or show that you let him get used to human touch since it can harm him or make him accustomed to it ☺️
The best-love the guys accent- reminds me of home.
Cheerio's dad is so cool. Thank you for took care your little friend
Young ducks imprint their person and that's that from then on. It's the neatest thing and honor for a wild animal to imprint on you and it's forever. So cool.
At this very moment I am about halfway through this exact video in my own life. I work in rescue, and a two-day-old injured duckling was brought to me, and she has been living with me for almost two months now. She's living on the farm, integrated with all the dogs, cats, reptiles, and everything else in my life. Never thought I would have such a special relationship with a duck. But I love my little Feather Locklear. 🦆
I love ducks! Hip, hip, Cheerio!
🦆❤️
A duck walked up to a lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand, hey! Bumbumbum, *got any grapes?*
I always thought it was a hardware store??
Waddle waddle
Oooh WAIT! I’ve heard that before....hmmmm 🤔
I thought it was, “hey, pal....”.
@@funniful the duck song =P
If I were a duck I would hang with Steven, too. He is a sweetheart.
Love how he’s cheering on Cheerios first flight.
So sweet
This warms my heart so much 💜💙💗
Such a caring & understanding guy. He did not imprison Cheerio inside his home as a pet.
I've been raising stray cats since a decade but I never imprison them. I feed them numerous times a day, give them love, cuddles, my blanket & most importantly freedom. Mostly they return but they love exploring the outside.
It is a gift when an animal bonds with you, especially one from the wild.
Oh how I love animals
Awesome! It would be a pleasure to to know such a kind man. May this special friendship continue. Our animal friends appreciate us more than other humans. Best wishes to you and Cheerio. 🦆
His pity pats as he waddles...soooo sweet
And that bond doesn’t break when they go back to the wild.
This is beautiful😥😪. I saw this on Facebook.
God bless you for saving Cherio!
Its always extra special and attractive to me when a man goes the extra mile to help an animal survive and thrive. This is the kind of man I want my daughter to marry. Someone who is compassionate, kind and thoughtful. I always say. If your boyfriend or a guy youre interested in, is cruel to animals. RUN away!!! He will treat you and your children the same one day.
Very well said and true! You're a good mother!
You’re such a proud duck dad. It’s wonderful to see.
Amazing duck Cheerio with an amazing dad!!! I think cheerio loves his dad & the pool very much as we love our parents & home🤗❤💖💗🦆
🦆Cheers, Steven- This is a wonderful & simply amazing story! So thanks for sharing!!! Marina/Germany
This channel deserves an award for the endless amount of joy that their videos bring into our lives.

That is just the greatest thing i have seen in a while. I think Cheerio's dad is great for rescuing him. What a great bond. Thanks for sharing.
Human: my pool...
Cheerio and his buddies: OUR pool...
Duckies are so cute!
I think this is a perfect example of the kind of bond humans and animals were meant to have. We love them, they love us, and we live our own lives, but we're happy to spend time together regardless. I think anyone who says it's wrong to keep animals as pets, this video proves that even a wild animal can be very happy with a human. Just allow them to be themselves, and don't force them to change for your convenience. Kind of a good moral for any relationship, honestly.
This guy is a dad and a hero to Cheerio.
Cheerio is an excellent example to disprove the terrible idiom Birdbrain..
All birds or even the smallest animals like ants and bees have intelligence and feelings..💓🦆🐝🐜🦋
I watch UA-cam videos every day mostly about animals. And this is one of the best stories I've ever seen. Great relationship. Well done Steve.
if you ever lose faith in humanity just meet this guy!!! what a legend 👍👍
What a great video!! With so much negativity, It's stories like this that uplift my spirit! Steven you are an angel sent from up above! Thanks for posting!
Even the duck has a girlfriend and I dont hahaha
hah
aha
ha
ha
I cry
😂😂I feel ya
The world is a bit "more-awesomer" with this guy around,. I REALLY enjoyed this story. Thanks!!
Cheerio inherited his sense of humour from his dad, too :)
I love this. I’m just so paranoid about his safety being in the wild. I pray he is always protected and lives a wonderful, happy and healthy life! Ducks are amazing pets. Ours acted like guard dogs, and if anything ever got into our backyard, we knew about it ASAP! Also, they ate all the worms and grubs around the yard so we never had a mole problem. Lol.

And he flew away."
