The bloody incident happened when Boyd Jentzsch and his son, Kai, put out food for a family of Muscovy ducks that lived outside their home in Wellington, a village in Palm Beach County, Florida.
As they watched them feed, police claim landscaper Jason Falbo accelerated his lawnmower nearby and swerved over them, sending a bloody shower of feathers and bones into the air.
Of the mother duck and 11 ducklings, nine of the ducklings lost their lives.
According to Kai’s mother Laura Gontchar, feeding the ducks was one of the seven-year-old’s favourite pastimes.
The family watched the events unfold and ran to confront 24-year-old Falbo of Royal Palm Beach.
“We were horrified. I couldn’t believe it was happening. It was totally disgusting.”

There’s the problem. These ducks should never be fed. They are perfectly capable of feeding themselves. They are the goats of the avian world. They eat insects, grass, leaves off your plants, frogs, lizards, large snails. You name it, they’ll eat it, and it comes out of them just as fast as it went in.
