The Ducks are an unknown number of ducks that appear rarely at Baldie Carrot, the Cats' Protector (commonly known as the Duck Feeder due to the ducks that visit). The ducks will peck at the food and stare at the camera, making a loud clacking noise when their beak hits the feeder.
Behavior
The ducks will usually appear for a short time, eating food quickly and leaving once it is finished. When cats see the ducks approaching they will run away. The only recorded sighting of a duck and a cat interacting is when Ms. Opera was attacked by a muscovy duck.
Appearance
A variety of ducks visit the feeder. Usually, the ducks seen are fully white with orange beaks, or muscovy ducks, which are black and white with red markings around their eyes.
