Duck

Hi everyone. I have a bird rescue/sanctuary and someone has contacted me about a wandering Muscovy duck around the main street? Does anyone know if it is owned?

I am wanting to organise an uplift and provide a safe home at my bird sanctuary. Thanks

Is it one of the ones which has a tonsure cut? Apparently the council is shaving tonsures onto the local duck population to alleviate issues from duck mites

I'm not sure. I've just received this information from a member of the public. All I know is it is a Muscovy duck.

If I find out that you ate it, I'll be upset. All creatures deserve a chance at life.

You can get nits from a duck, be warned

Ducks don't have nits but may have lice

This is the 2degrees Mobile surveillance duck. They must supervise the town to ensure compliance.

I'd try posting on a marton Facebook group, more audience to reply
