Pittsburg panel to consider relocating ducks, geese Glick said he would do so, provided that city leaders go along with his specifications to also remove the duck house and to post signs banning feeding of the remaining flock.
“Every time you bring food there and run it through a duck, all the food you bring is adding matter to the entire organic system and what it can support,” Glick said. “It’s not a natural process.” Wilbert said reaction from the public could be mixed. But he said residents in the park area who find the birds to be a nuisance “probably will be relieved.” “I recently visited with a resident on Martin Street who had eight ducks in her back yard,” Wilbert said. “She had three eggs in the corner section of her foundation, and a dead duck in her yard, too. She can’t leave her front door or back door open without a duck or goose coming in her house.” Picnicking also has been difficult in the park, Wilbert said. “You cannot spread out a blanket without first having trouble with what’s on the ground, and next being attacked for your food,” he said. “What we want is a more natural occurrence, that the lake be a place where they stop over during a flight or come and go, but not in such an artificial situation.” Fast action City Commissioner Marty Beezley said that if relocation of the park’s waterfowl is to take place, it must happen soon, before they enter into a midsummer molting stage. The commission meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Pittsburg Law Enforcement Center.
