PEARLAND, Texas (CBS Local) Muscovy ducks are taking over a town in Texas and residents are now being encouraged to trap or even shoot them in some cases.
The City of Pearland is allowing landowners and homeowners associations (HOAs) to address the ducks as seen fit, and within legal parameters, by the HOA or the landowner.
Pearland is designated as a bird sanctuary city but the Muscovy duck is considered an invasive species from Central and South America and are therefore not protected.
From the reports that weve heard, (the ducks) tend to be aggressive on properties and they push other species out and different things like that, city spokesman Joshua Lee told KTRK.

In keeping with my 'fowl' holiday thread below, I present you this. Feel free to make all the lame Donald/Daffy/AFLAC/Howard the Duck jokes you can think of.

Personally, I find that any fowl is great if you brine it overnight, indirectly smoke it with a moist hickory and/or peachwood smoke on hot coals, then finish it on the gas side of the grill with a glaze made of apricot preserves, a little water for thinning, sea salt, cracked pepper, and an equal and generous portion of onion and garlic powder. Whisk and baste until the glaze begins to caramelize.
Your mileage may vary.

In New Jersey, they have an invasion of wild turkeys.
Unlike Texas, New Jersey will catch and relocate the turkeys rather than let residents enjoy a nice Thanksgiving.

The city says residents can only kill the duck if they capture it on their own property. They say it cannot be kept, consumed or sold. Plus, the duck must be destroyed by legal means. What a waste. It is plain wrong to kill an edible animal and not eat it.
If the city were to allow people to eat the ducks, the pest problem would go away in no time. I seem to recall that in some jurisdictions where nutria are a problem, officials tried to sell residents on the idea that nutria are tasty.

Feral hogs here in our area (North Louisiana) are being transmogrified into sausage. Had some the other day. Tasty.

Reminds me of the recipe for Sailfish Marinade a buddy gave me decades ago. About $100 bucks worth of red wine, brown sugar, etc. made inedible sailfish taste like inedible sailfish. But it DID taste different.

I knew a guy in the Navy from Louisiana, he worked in the shop next to ours. I was going down the freeway one day and I recognized his truck, pulled over on the shoulder. Thinking he may need assistance, I pulled over. He emerged from the tree line. I asked if he was okay.
He said he was checking his traps. Apparently folks in New York City were paying enough for Nutria pelts to make it worth his time. I didnt inquire what he did with the meat.
Fwiw, the local retention ponds used to be rife with Nutria. I no longer see them, dont know if nature took its course or if they were exterminated.

Nutria look like the love child of a beaver and a Manhattan sewer rat. No wonder nobody wants to eat them, unless you live on a floating single wide in a Louisiana bayou and haven’t eaten for three days. Duck breast, on the other hand, is considered a delicacy damn near anywhere you go.
