“Our ambassadors responded to calls from guests about the ducks, which were not part of the Busch Gardens animal collection, but did not find any injured ducklings in the area. For the variety of wildlife that often visits the park on their own, we work closely with state and local officials based on their recommended wildlife management plans.”
