HOUSTON -- Houston parks closed to the public in an effort to avoid mass gatherings over Easter weekend, but police still found themselves busy thanks to a family of ducklings that needed some assistance.

According to a tweet from Houston Police, Assistant Chief Larry J. Satterwhite was making sure residents were following orders at Memorial Park Saturday when he came across a group of ducklings that had strayed from their mother. In a video shared by the department, Satterwhite can be seen leading the ducklings back to safety.
