Indian Runner Ducks: Beware! They travel in flocks.
Ok, I have been bitten by many different animals, but let me tell you that the Indian Runner Duck Anas platyrhinos is a lot meaner than it looks. The Indian runner ducks is a breed of domesticated duck that has wings that are so short that it can’t fly. IRD females prefer to run away from you, but if you corner them, they can give you a good bite. IRD males will bite you for the fun of it. They grab you with their beaks, clamp down, and then twist, giving you a good bruise. You could call it a duck hickey. IRDs are cute ducks that look just like those wooden ducks on a stick with the flappy feet. They are one of the rarer breeds of domesticated duck, and many people keep them as pets. They are a type of living lawn ornament. This is one lawn ornament that you don’t want to corner!
