There is a small pond in Nuuanu where, according to a neighbor, people have abandoned many pet ducks and koi for the past decade.
The neighbor found Eve (duckling in the video) alone one morning, and thinks someone abandoned her, thinking an adult duck would take care of her. The woman is familiar with the ducks in the area, and knew there were no current mothers with ducklings. Eve was found on New Year’s Eve. Based on her size, she was born that day or the day before. She would not have survived the night on her own without the help of the woman. Eve is an unusual color variation called a blond mallard who don’t survive long in the wild because they lack natural camouflage. It is a condition similar to albinism.
