Okay thanks so much. I agree but was just wondering because the people around the neighborhood claim he has been there for years. Maybe multiple different ducks being dumped?
Haha I love that guy. Def not legal to grab wild ducks, but I do think it would be legal to remove a domestic duck from the wild. In most states it is actually illegal to dump domestic ducks in parks and ponds. Thanks for the link, very helpful!
Hi, I know this was a long time ago, but I thought this post could use an update. Snowflake fully recovered and is now completely mobile and living his best life in sanctuary!
I know that we have mallards and other wild duck species here but pekins are not found in the wild naturally. They are completely domesticated so the only way for them to end up there is from being dumped. So while other ducks can definitely live here I am not sure whether the pekin can survive.

They do smell rotten. they are essentially completely rotted I highly doubt they will remain functional. I will soak them in warm water should I add epsom salts too?
