A duck-call ringtone has helped a US firefighter rescue six ducklings from a storm drain. Even with the realistic,reassuring quacking sounds coming from his mobile phone, it took Cody Knecht about 90 minutes to catch the first four baby mallards in the south-east Louisiana community of Slidell. He told Rhod Sharp: "I got in the hole and at the bottom of it I couldn't really get him close enough to us: threw some crackers, threw some bread." "I guess over time we were kindof running out of options," he said, "and I remembered I had a duck app with quacking on the phone, so we tried that just to see if it worked and they actually kindof responded to it."
