I had one Welsh Harlequin and 4 runner ducks. Yesterday morning a raccoon or raccoons killed the Welsh harlequin. The other ducks behaved fairly normally yesterday, but today they keep visiting the site of the attack. I'm worried about them hanging around in the area because I don't want it to happen again (it is up against my neighbour's fence on a rock bluff). Do they need to pay their respects, or are they looking for their lost duck? We would like to remove her remains - just a lot of feathers and some entrails - but I'm wondering if we should do it when the ducks are there so they can stop visiting.
I know that other birds do funerals. Do ducks?
