A trio of mammoth mallards has winged in to Brookhollow. Larger and more aggressive than our ducky denizens, these newcomers will decisively rush you for a handout. Calls to City, County and Private Animal Control services have all referred to Federal protections of migratory birds. They may mean to stay, so stash your munchies and let’s encourage the bratty birds to fly away!
2/13/2017 UPDATE:
A Santa Ana PD Animal Control officer advised use of an umbrella or air-horn to fend off ducks. They can become aggressive when defending territory, nests or foraging. Please be careful around ducks and do not feed or approach them. In addition to Federal protection, Santa Ana is a designated Bird Sanctuary.
