mean neighbor threatening to call HOA regarding muscovy ducks :(

there are about 5 muscovies at the lake in my neighborhood. emphasis on LAKE and this lady who lives ON THE LAKE is mad about them BEING IN THE LAKE because theyre near her property. anyway, i visit them regularly and throw seeds in the water, and there is one kind lady who gives them some seed as well in her backyard (her property). the ducks hardly ever leave the lake and when they do theyre basically only on her property or the other side where no one lives. basically, a chick got stuck in the mean lady’s pool and she got mad and threatened HOA and so now hanging w them is basically off limits or else she will call. she basically claims everyone hates us even though the muscovies have been there for ages. i am very upset about this. these ducks were my therapy, my happiness, and i dont want to be around them anymore because if she calls HOA they may be exterminated. there are other everglades, endemic species that hang around there and shes pissed off about them too. im most worried about the muscovies because they could be exterminated. i just dont understand what her problem is

will they remember me?? :((

ive been feeding, bonding w, and taking care of my university’s muscovy ducks at the local pond for the last nine months now. i basically go everyday and sit w them after classes (it helps me sm mentally. like i seriously cannot express how much theyve positively impacted my life). i am now on summer break and I am home 5 hours away, meaning i wont be able to see them. i love them all so much, and i just want to know if anyone has any insight into if they will remember me or feel sad that ive left (i dont want them to be sad). they all run up to me when they see me. i was gone before for a month for winter break, and they remembered me (and were very excited to see me). anyway, please let me know if they will remember me or if i will have to restart the bond (which im fine with doing, it would be a bit sad ofcourse)

hi everyone. i know this isnt a “pekin” subreddit but i also know a lot of people in this sub are located in florida and super kind to ducks! basically, there are two pekins that have been at my university for some time now, and i really do think they should have a forever home. these guys seem to be doing well here (they get fed a lot and also have no predators), however, they really arent meant to be in the wild. im pretty sure they’re both males. theyve both been quite territorial lately from mating season so they attack a ton of people who visit the park and im worried they will get euthanized because of it. essentially, im just wondering if anyone would be willing to give them a forever home. im hesitant to post this as i dont want to make them upset by them getting taken from their home, and i also want to make sure they dont get taken to be euthanized or turned into food. so please if u want details dm me and ill give the location :) i just dont want these guys to be struggling on their own
