Heard this lady on the radio this morning. She says it wasn't a wild duck but a domestic duck from a farm. They were going to put it down because it couldn't keep up with the brood so she adopted it. She claims she told all this to the agents but they didn't want to hear it. Plus they had no paperwork of any kind (warrant). She thinks a former co-worker turned her in.
Gooey is in rehab where all famous ducks end up eventually.
