I recently came across a video on Facebook of a man helping save baby ducklings that had fallen through a storm grate and returning them to their mother. I tried to find to video again and although I didn’t find it, I came across many other videos showing the same phenomena ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNROmaug1O8 for example).

My question is at what point do we play concerned citizen versus letting Nature take its course? We are the reason that the storm grates are there but should let evolution take its roll in weeding out the mama ducks who were’t intuitive enough to avoid the storm grate?
