In the winter of 2015, she offered a wild duck and her ducklings shelter in a hutch on her property. Kim's ducks – who live in a dry paddock bordering Eyrewell Forest – each have names, including Doreen (named after Kim's mother) Beyonce and Taylor Swift. But running a duck sanctuary is an expensive business. You can find out more about North Canterbury Duck Rescue on their Facebook page and donate to the sanctuary via Givealittle.
