Photos: Meet the Adorable Ducks at Longbottom Bird Ranch

Located just behind the Mt. Airy Forest, the Longbottom Bird Ranch is a "duck retirement community" that rescues abandoned domestic ducks and hosts educational events to raise awareness about them. On the private farm, the ducks waddle around, living their best lives while owner Jimmy Longbottom looks after them — in some cases even nursing them back to health.

Longbottom Bird Ranch has applied for nonprofit status, but until they receive it, Longbottom says that he will be relying on "selling plasma and the kindness of strangers," according to a Facebook post. If you'd like to be one of those kind strangers, you can donate to the duck rescue's GoFundMe.

If you'd like to meet the ducks, Longbottom and his ducks often appear at educational events throughout Greater Cincinnati. Keep tabs on where the ducks waddle to next by following Longbottom Bird Ranch on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
