Seriously though what grown man is afraid of ducks... They don't "attack" they come up and peck at your leg so you feed them. Then do funny things and make funny sounds. People these days, afraid of anything...

Ducks, no.

Geese? Childhood trauma abounds.

I had a Chinese goose, it was a jerk and I gave it to someone. I don't know who that person was since I just dropped it over someone's fence and ran away...

Muscovy ducks are excellent flyers, maybe he had a wing injury at some point.

Ducks that aren't raised with other ducks that can fly never learn. Not one of my ducks can do more than jump up about 4 feet. They can't learn on their own for some reason when young and once they are adults they never develope the muscles needed to even if they could learn.

Funny thing is he got more jail time for the alligator than the weed. It was the dept of wildlife that was investigating him.

Aah you live in one of those states that thinks reefer madness is a documentary eh?

It's neat living in a reasonable state. Every house myself and my coworker put gutters on a few weeks ago had no shortage of the devils lettuce growing on their porch or backyard.

Nows a good time of year. Itll be getting cooler soon, so we can be comfortable driving with driving around windows down.. smelling everyone's upcoming harvest

Reminds me of this seen from "DUNE"

never seen a brown one before

I'm going by the face grossness, beak and size. No other species seems to match. Google says they can be brown, white, black even green and all manner of mixes?

I just realized I have two though lol. The other is black and white but the gross red face is less pronounced so I thought they were different species. According to your link and some googling they are both in fact Muscovy ducks... Never knew... The black and white is in the woods with the pigs at the moment so can't get a pic.
