article: Ducks don't see well in the dark, so your best bet at catching a duck is at night. Wait until the middle of the night when it's the darkest and the ducks will be sleeping. While the duck is sleeping, carefully creep up on the duck. Make your movements slow so that you don't risk waking the duck and alerting them to your plan. Observe the location where you have spotted the duck for several nights. You maybe able to locate a nesting location where the duck sleeps each night. Look for matted grass or droppings nearby to find the duck's resting spot. Put an animal carrier down right next to where the duck is sleeping. Have the door open and ready for your to scoop the duck into the carrier. Open the latch of the carrier before approaching the duck to prevent the noise of the locking mechanism from disturbing the duck. A plastic animal carrier for a small dog or cat is a good size for a duck. Avoid carriers with long slits as the duck's wings may slip through and become trapped. When you've crept up very close to the duck, cover the duck with a lightweight blanket or towel. Quickly use the blanket to scoop the duck into the carrier before the duck has a chance to figure out what's happening. Close the carrier's door and lock it. Turn the door of the carrier away from your body and reach over the top of the carrier to open the door. Try to keep your arms and body away from the opening to allow the duck to escape peacefully.

article: Exercise is important in maintaining cardiovascular health, but it is important for lung health as well. Exercise increases blood flow to the lungs and allows all the necessary nutrients to reach them. You should take it slowly at first and proceed with caution so you do not overdo it. Find the right pace for you and increase the level of exercise as you are comfortable. When you first start, go for a long or brisk walk or use an elliptical machine. These exercises are not too strenuous but will get the blood and air moving through your lungs and body. If you have lung or breathing problems, consult your doctor before doing any new exercises. She may have examples of safe exercises that will help increase your lung capacity and help you gain lung strength. Breathing exercises are done to help increase the amount of oxygen you take in and your ability to release the carbon dioxide. At first, any of these exercises might make you a bit dizzy. This is why most healthcare professionals advise a slow and steady approach. Once you get used to the method of breathing that works best for you, you will find that you are using that method more and more, often without actively or consciously thinking about it. You can find a personal trainer or physical therapist who can guide you in increasing that capacity. Ask your health care professional for a referral. Always speak to your physician or health care professional before starting any program of exercise. If you are working toward greater lung health, she may refer you to a pulmonary rehabilitation specialist. In general, most physicians will recommend one of two methods to ease any difficulty in breathing and increase lung capacity. The first method is pursed-lips breathing. Start this method by breathing in through your nose for about two or three seconds. Next, pucker your lips and breathe out slowly through your pursed or puckered lips for four to nine seconds. Repeat as often as you are comfortable. If you get uncomfortable, wait an hour and try again. It will take practice and dedication, but if you do, you will soon find it easier to breathe and find that you feel better. You should teach yourself to do diaphragmatic breathing, which is breathing through your belly instead of your chest. Although most people don't breathe this way, this is considered normal breathing. It uses the diaphragm, which is the strip of muscle below your lungs that is the main muscle of breathing. First, relax your shoulders, back and neck. Place one hand on your belly and one on your back. Inhale through the nose for two seconds. As you inhale, move your belly outward. Then, breathe out through pursed lips to help control the rate of exhalation while gently pressing on your belly. This pushes up on the diaphragm, strengthening the muscle. This will take some practice to master. It is not easy to retrain yourself to use the diaphragm, but if you watch babies, this is the way they breathe. They don't use what are called the "accessory muscles of breathing," which is the muscles of the neck, shoulders, back, and rib cage. Once you get it, use the method for as long and as often as you are comfortable. There is a variation on the pursed-lips and diaphragmatic breathing methods adapted from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. For the deep breathing method, lie flat on your back. Use pillows under your knees and neck to make sure you are comfortable. Put your hands palm down on your stomach, right below the rib cage. Place the fingers of your hands together so you can feel them separate and know you are doing the exercise correctly. Take a long, slow deep breath by expanding your belly. Your fingers should separate as they lie on your belly. This exercise ensures that you are using your diaphragm to breathe rather than your rib cage. The diaphragm creates suction that pulls more air into your lungs than can be achieved by expanding the rib cage. Do this whenever you are short of breath or as often as you can. At first, you may feel a bit dizzy because you are pulling more oxygen into your lungs than you are used to. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, stop. However, you can repeat this as often as you want. You can increase your lung capacity by strengthening your diaphragm. To do this method, first start with the deep breathing exercise. As you exhale, make a humming sound. This noise moves your diaphragm and helps strengthen the muscle. Do this whenever you are short of breath or as often as you can. At first you may feel a bit dizzy. Don't be alarmed. This is because you are getting more oxygen than you are used to getting at one time. If at anytime you feel uncomfortable, stop. However, you can repeat this as often as you are comfortable. For this exercise, you need to sit down comfortably. Take three short inhalations through the nose. On your first inhale of breath, lift your arms, reaching in front of you and keeping the arms at shoulder level. On the second intake of air, move your arms to the side, keeping your arms at shoulder level. On the third intake, lift your arms over your head. Repeat 10 to 12 times. If this exercise causes any dizziness, stop. Once you do, the lungs natural rhythm will take over immediately.

If you're feeling healthy and haven't been exposed to coronavirus, you may be able to assist the animal shelter with their day-to-day operations. Call the shelter and ask if they're accepting volunteers and how you can help them out. They may have you fill out an online application or schedule a time for you to come in so they can meet you. Many shelters aren't accepting volunteers to help limit the spread of coronavirus, so always call ahead or check the shelter's website. First, check the shelter's website to see if they have links to a wishlist since they may have picked out specific items that they need. If you don't see a wishlist on their website, try giving them a call and asking to see if they're running low on supplies or what they could use the most. On top of cleaning up after the animals, shelter employees also need to disinfect to limit the spread of coronavirus. Get cleaning products that have been certified by the EPA to kill COVID-19, or look for a solution that has at least 70% alcohol. You can also send paper towels, cleaning cloths, and garbage bags so the shelter doesn't run out and get messy. You can find a list of effective disinfectants here: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2. Check the labels on the cleaning products to make sure they're safe to use around animals. Try calling your local shelter to see what kind of food they need the most. Choose a variety of dry dog and cat foods, wet canned foods, and milk or formula for kittens and puppies. If the shelter also takes care of small animals, like rabbits and guinea pigs, pick up some food pellets or feed as well. Avoid giving pet food that's already been opened or used so you don't spread any form of contamination to animals in the shelter. Animals in shelters can sometimes feel stressed or anxious, but soft blankets and towels can make them more relaxed. You can buy new blankets or wash some old ones you have at home before donating them. Opt for fleece or plush fabrics to make the animals feel the most comfortable. Some shelters may not accept blankets or towels to help limit the spread of coronavirus. If you find some old ones in your home, save them until the shelter reopens to the public before donating them. Rabbits and guinea pigs love to chew on things, and cardboard tubes are perfect for enriching their lives. After you use the last sheet of toilet paper or paper towel, save it in a shoebox or another container so you can collect them. Once you have a full box, donate it to the shelter so the small animals can have toys too. Some cats and dogs will also play with cardboard tubes, but call your shelter ahead of time to see if they allow them as donations. Even if you don't have money to spend on new pet supplies, you may be able to reuse old materials as pet toys. For example, you can tie strips of fleece through the holes of a rubber sink mat to make a snuffle mat for dogs and cats to sniff around in. You can also sew small fleece pillows with some catnip inside to keep cats entertained. If you don't have time to make toys, you can also buy them from a pet store or online. Look up the address for the animal shelter and use it as the shipping address for any online orders. Otherwise, send your items in a care package using the post office or a delivery service. That way, you don't have to leave home or put yourself at risk of getting coronavirus. Some animal shelters have outdoor drop-offs so you can take the supplies there yourself. Call the shelter to see what delivery method they'd prefer. Even if the shelter isn't accepting physical donations, they may still have options to support them financially. Look on their website to see if there's a link that says "Donate" or something similar. Give as much money as you're comfortable with to show your support and help keep the animals safe.
