Six of the world's rarest ducks reach adulthood as conservationists successful raise them.

I have the perfect ground to breed them into a invasive/over populated species. My neighborhood.

The DNR has to come out here once a year and cull the ducks. One year it was so bad there had to be a couple thousand of them. Blocking up the roads/major thoroughfares it was insane.

Then one day I came home from work and they were all gone. Asked a neighbor and they said DNR used huge nets and trapped them all.

Biggest cause was people feeding the ducks. Don't feed wild animals ever or they get euthanized. They arrest one of the feeders, he would dumpster dive the bakeries for all the old bread\pastries and cover a huge parking lot w/ it. Ducks and rats loved it.

Also people would dump their ducks in with them. Muscovys are not common in my area and we get a bunch every year.
