While this video went viral because humans were seen assisting a helpless duck and its ducklings, another video had gone viral that showed a rather curious duck. The animal repeatedly sneaked in the home of Lucy Nicholls. Sharing a photograph from the encounter, Nicholls hilariously explained how the unwelcomed guest became the reason behind her apologises during a work call.

In follow-up tweets, she also explained how the duck kept coming back again and again in the house She even had a possible explanation for the behaviour. "I think it was because my birdseed had run out - and the duck likes to steal this - so the duck was basically asking for the manager,” she wrote on Twitter. “What sort of duck walks into a house though?! Very unsettling...” she wrote.
