Olivia - SAFE

I am Olivia

Olivia arrived at SAFE at the very beginning of May 2021.

Olivia is a domestic Muscovy duck. She and her sister Cosette surprised us by showing us that they can fly, and do so over quite a long distance.

Olivia is Dais’s companion, who protects her and follows her everywhere. Olivia isn’t always convinced that she needs protection and often takes refuge near the house on the patio.

Olivia also chooses to build herself a very cosy nest, where she lays 12 to 15 eggs, which she incubates for almost a month, without leaving the nest except to eat and drink very occasionally and very quickly. We’re often asked why she doesn’t fly off somewhere else… I guess she feels at home in SAFE, loved and safe.

Like her companions who arrived at the same time, she was one of a series of ducklings we kept and others we placed. There was a craze in Montreal to adopt ducklings thanks to a post on Tik Tok urging their adoption. Young people sold them on street corners or in schoolyards.

Responsible parents tried to place them, but many were abandoned in parks or on the streets.

Buzz

I’m a sweet and adorable goat, I admit, I’m a little scared of humans. No, but they are so big and imposing! I stay in my quiet corner when they come to clean the big one :)

Jane

I am such an affectionate and loving sheep. I’m bright and smart and love human companionship.

Safe’s hens

For Easter, choose to sponsor one of Safe’s hen.

Storm

Im a shy little goat who loves head scratches from humans!

Nemoo

Nemoo is a male calf of the Jersey breed and therefore has no use in the dairy industry or in the meat industry. His destiny was different.

Delilah

I love getting my belly scratched by humans, but don’t tell anyone!

Samson

Samson was brought to us by a caring soul. He had an injured leg when he arrived and was limping badly. Now that he is healed he has elected to live on the pond at SAFE.
