An aggressive Muscovy duck community in Cape Coral, Fla., is causing quite a stir, according to a local news report.
These feisty ducks are on a rampage, evading the law and creating chaos in the neighborhood. One particularly aggressive duckie, with an obvious bone to pick, has been ambushing seniors on their porches and even attempting to follow residents into their homes.
Residents have reported multiple attacks, with some even being sent to the hospital due to injuries caused by the ducks. The situation has become so dire that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has issued a control order allowing the management of Muscovy ducks, their nests, and eggs in areas outside their natural range.
Despite efforts to manage the situation, the ducks continue to terrorize the community, leaving residents on edge and searching for solutions.
