Default ducks and labradors

If they are anything like the ducks that stroll around the complex of

They leave a trail of filth and intimated small animals, sometimes even
humans, so that an evening walk was an ordeal. Hated them! Two now
will attract many more later. They will soon be eating your dogs' kibble.


Otoh, duck eggs are delicious.

(I fully intend to get pet ducks - and Canada geese - for my pond when
it's finished)
