Ducks at Russell Creek Park

Posted by Ok-Cow-2926@reddit | plano | View on Reddit | 27 comments

Rant, but I see so many parents allow their kids to harrass the ducks at the park.

Just today I saw a kid pick up a duck with their hands and tried to chuck it in the pond while the mom was cheering. Please do better. 🤦‍♀️

Take video next time and call the cops. I'm pretty sure ducks are covered under the migratory bird act and abusing them openly can get heavy fines.

Ok? This was a duck at a pond so not domesticated.

Most ducks in parks are considered domesticated. There can be wild ones, there can be hybrids (where domesticated ducks mate with local wild ducks). It can be very difficult to tell the difference. As such, it would be VERY difficult to prove an individual duck in a park i s migratory.

Even so it isn't worth risking messing with a bird that may be covered. Plus to stand around doing nothing when you can at least get the word out about awful humans abusing animals and allowing their children to do the same is better.

They need some Canadian geese at that park to show the little brats what happens when you mess with their duck buddies.

They are preempting any empirical facts that may falsify their worldview.

Also please don’t feed ducks bread, it’s just as bad for them as it is people. Frozen peas and blueberries work great!

I fish there on a regular and frankly speaking, never on the weekends, due to kids and their parents out there. My two girls have been taught not to mess with wildlife in general and why some find it to be OK is beyond me. If they weren't such a nuisance, a couple Muskovy ducks would make the kids think twice with their size alone.
