A small island storySourced
Firefighters topped up a duck’s puddle
Trevor, a mallard, appeared on Niue in 2018. On an island without surface fresh water, he lived in a roadside puddle. The fire service refilled it when it began drying out, and he became a local celebrity. His arrival remained unexplained.
Maintaining one small puddle became a task for the island’s fire service.
