Ares and Luna were surrendered to the Hawaiian Humane Society who then reached out to the sanctuary with hopes we would accept them into our 'ohana. They are Muscovy ducks, which is a breed commonly used for meat. The Humane Society was concerned they would be adopted for the wrong reasons, as were we, so we brought them to the sanctuary where they will be protected for the rest of their lives. 
 
For whatever reason, Ares is quite fiesty. Many of the volunteers have stories about a time Ares attacked them. He was named after the God of War.. for good reason! Don't let that scare you though, often Ares will come wagging his tail to greet visitors at the sanctuary and he'll accept a few chest pats as well.
