This is what we were greeted with off one street near Surfside Boulevard. Muscovie duck terrorizing the neighborhood. I moved here in '98. So have these ducks always been here? occasionally, yeah, but now they're more frequent. And James Sepulveda showed me his hand. The duck bit him and his neighbors, even sending one to the hospital. I sit on my porch around 7 to 7:30 at this time of the year to catch *** sunset. You know, some sun and I had my eyes closed all of *** sudden I felt *** jab on my hand and it was bleeding. Are you gonna walk walk the other way. And Richard guy down the street has *** similar story. I stood up and I made some noises thinking that I would go, go away, doc, you know. Next thing I know it's come out, you know, like me. Here's James peeking out on the porch as the duck tried to come inside. I reached out to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and they said, quote, Muscovie ducks are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, but the US Fish and Wildlife Service has issued *** control order allowing control of Muscovie ducks and their and eggs in areas outside of their natural range, which is actually Texas. FWC says the ducks must be humanely killed or donated to educational or scientific institutes. But for James, he says being on *** tight budget with his fixed income, paying for *** trapper is just not in the cards. They're actually committing injury to individuals they should get rid of.
