Kiwi was originally a part of a class hatching project in a school. After the project was over, Kiwi was to return to the farm that she came from but the farmer no longer wanted her. A kind family brought Kiwi home and intended to care for her for life, but while in their care, she was sadly attacked by a predator. Kiwi’s spine was injured in the attack and she lost the ability to walk or stand. The family reached out to find help and a new home for Kiwi and we stepped in and brought her to sanctuary.

Kiwi arrived to Woodstock Sanctuary in the fall of 2020, and we immediately got to work on providing her with many medical treatments and love. We even got her a wheelchair! We’re not sure she will ever be able to walk, but she is happily spending her days with her other disabled duck friends! After posting about her on Instagram and Facebook, Kiwi quickly has become the superstar of the Sanctuary, gaining love and support from millions of people and was even featured on The Dodo. We’re so happy that she is now safe and cared for and that her story has inspired so many.
