Hi everyone. I was at a park today and noticed a duck behaving strangely, and I’m worried that something might be wrong with her. She kept repeatedly dipping/moving her beak toward the water as if she was drinking or feeding, but her beak appeared to stay closed. What really concerned me was that the exact same movement continued even after she lifted her head and came out of the water. It was very repetitive and seemed involuntary.

I’m obviously not qualified to diagnose what’s happening, so I don’t know if this could be a neurological issue, a respiratory problem, some kind of injury, or something else. I just had the feeling that she was struggling with something.

Does anyone in Armenia/Yerevan know of an animal rescue organization, wildlife rehabilitation group, veterinarian, or animal control service that deals with injured or sick wild birds? I’d really like to report the duck to someone who can check on her rather than just leave her there. I can provide the exact location of the park if needed.

Any advice or contacts would be greatly appreciated!
