This Upside-Down Duckling Is Uncoordinated And Entirely Unbothered By It.

It looks like this little duckling needs a hand! A hilarious video shows how an uncoordinated baby duck responds to falling over. Instead of trying to get up, he simply lies on his back and waits for assistance. Once he gets flipped onto his feet again by a human hand, the little guy happily waddles off like nothing happened!

Apparently, this is a pretty common occurrence for this particular duckling. None of the other ducks seem remotely concerned about the fallen baby — not even the adult bird right next to him!

“He always just lies there and waits for help,” says the video.

Commenters thought the little duckling’s antics were just too funny. Some even found him relatable!

“Me after any minor inconvenience,” joked one user.

“He was a turtle in his past life,” said another.

Actually, this duckling has a pretty important lesson to share. Even though he keeps falling onto his back, he’s not embarrassed. He knows he’s still learning how to walk and that he’ll have to accept help from others from time to time. What a great attitude to have while developing a new skill!
