    Anyone know if you can have ducks in Pinellas County FL (mid-county)

    I just think it depends where in unincorporated Pinellas you live. I know people have ducks and peacocks off of East Lake. In Pasco, the rule is no chickens in R-1 unincorporated Pasco and the zoning people know about my duck (a long story). I think it depends on the zoning, residential or...

    Kids, our newest predator

    Please call the police or the humane society and get it on record. You will feel so bad if they move up to hurting children smaller than themselves. Read any biography of a serial killer and you will find out they start by torturing animals. If you don't have the money for a lawyer, take them...

    No more free ranging because of eagle, what should I feed him?

    Maybe I will try all these things except for the spinach because I got kidney stones from eating too much spinach. It really wouldn't hurt him to loose a little weight as he is pretty chubby (6 1/2 lb KC). He won't eat cat food just dog food. Is there any nutritional value for domestic ducks...

    No more free ranging because of eagle, what should I feed him?

    The other day I had two visits from an juvenile American bald Eagle. Luckily, the eagle is very, very loud and I was able to get to the duck in time. The eagle was quite bold on the second visit and didn't seem to care that I was on the porch about 10 feet from the duck. My little drake was so...

    Do Your Neighbors Think You Are The "Odd" Duck?

    My family thinks I am nuts for having a duck but the neighbor thinks it great because her mom kept ducks in their basement in Brooklyn. She was heartbroken when the duck turned out to be a he and there would be no duck eggs for breakfast. My friends all want ducks, too.

    Strange eagle behavior and questions

    Steve,when I saw the Eagle today, it was a pretty amazing bird (after my duck was enclosed and covered). I was surprised how different they look then their parents when they are juveniles. I will try to get pictures. It almost seems to soar for the pure joy of it. I am going to research and...

    Strange eagle behavior and questions

    I saw that FWC keeps a list of known Bald Eagle nests and we have 2 within 2 miles of our house. It doesn't say if these were reintroduced or what. I just called TSC and asked if they had any larger netting to cover another area of the yard and he said they did but hurry because the Eagles are a...

    Strange eagle behavior and questions

    Unfortunately, I saw the eagle with my own eyes, but it does sound a lot like when my dog used to catch squirrels and they would scream. I thought it was a hawk because of the odd coloring, but after some research, I found out that juvenile bald eagles don't have the same coloring as adult...

    Strange eagle behavior and questions

    Yesterday, while I was in the house an eagle was in the oak in the backyard screeching loudly. I ran outside grabbed my free ranging duck and put him in his inside pen. Later, that day I put him back out and stayed with him and the eagle returned doing exactly the same thing. The brave drake...

    Duck refuses to eat duck food

    Thank you for your advice. As so as I was done posting this, I noticed he was in his feed. I watched him for a while and noticed he wasn't eating but picking out the ants in it and eating them and not the food. I only put it out 2 hours ago and I can't believe how fast the food gets ants in it.

    Duck refuses to eat duck food

    My 12 weeks and 2 days old Khaki is not eating his duck food. I thought maybe it went bad so I got him new but he refuses to eat this also. He spends most of his days free ranging and at night I will turn on the porch light (he demands this) so it will attract the June bugs which he gobbles up...

    could this person be on BYC?

    LOL. It wasn't me either, I live in FL. If you want really weird looks take your duck to a drive through at the bank. It really freaks them out.

    What do I look for in a duck boarding facility?

    My house sitter is terrified of all birds so I have found a place that will board my duck. It is run by a licensed Avian vet. They told me on the phone that they have indoor facilities for the night and a covered outdoor area with a kiddie pool for the day. I will be going to look at the...

    She's driving him crazy....

    I have a 3 month old Khaki (possibly mutt). He spends his days free ranging in the yard under my watchful eye. He seems to have accepted all the other birds that come in the yard except for a female mallard that comes to visit. She drives him crazy. When she visits, he runs around the yard like...

    My House flooded! I blame the ducks!

    You're right there is no need for a dehumidifier with a filter if you have 4 hepa filters. I only wish all our A/C customers realized the importance of hepa filtration when they had indoor pets, not only for the smells but but for the health of their pets.
