That’s what it looks like we have one of those.
I was going to say that but you said it before me.

any idea if it’s harmful to ducks? vet appointments are hard to get because of covid (avian vet is mostly accepting emergency only)

It's an exhaust wall cap aka. dryer vent hood. They're mainly made out of two substances 1. aluminum or in your case 2. calcium carbonate filled polypropylene (high heat and uv resistant plastic). If your duck ingested any your biggest worry will be impaction or internal tearing. I would take your duck to the vet asap if you think any was ingested.

YES anything outside their normal duck healthy diet is dangerous. Plastic of any kind included!

i mean will she be ok, or will she be able to poop it out normally?

That is a dryer vent.

As far as the duck. Pay close attention to her, and her feces, weighing her daily on a gram scale would be advised as well. If she starts producing abnormal droppings, or starts losing weight she needs to be taken to a vet.

I would say any thing like that isn’t good for a duck.

Sorry, I heard parent and had to ask, Thats ok as long as you are paying attention to the senior members who know whats going on and your not trying to argue with them. It all takes time.

I’m so sorry about your duck. If vet isn’t possible hopefully things will work out. You never know, sometimes animals are very resilient. Try not to worry too much.

Depends a LOT on how much she ate, and the individual size and shape of the pieces ingested. If anything does happens, it will most likely occur in the gizzard as the strong grinding force often pushes the pieces into the lining. Of course take her to a vet if you can, but for now you'll just want to pay close attention to her. If you want, you could try adding a few ml's of mineral oil into her feed to help lubricate the plastic down.
