I Believe I Can Fly by

Unlike most species of ducks, Wood Ducks are known to nest in trees. These baby wood ducks were merely hours old, they responded to their mother’s call outside of the nesting box by instinctively jumping to the ground. Miraculously, they survived the fall and could immediatedly get up on their feet.
