Constant lockdowns amid coronavirus pandemic have given a chance to animals to wander outside. However, a rather curious duck took it to another level by repeatedly sneaking 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.
Monday morning's reason for apologising during a work call: this duck walked into my kitchen. I do not own a duck. pic.twitter.com/KqOQwC5KHu

'What sort of duck does that though'
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.
The duck came in about ten times yesterday. I think it was because my bird seed had run out - and the duck likes to steal this - so the duck was basically asking for the manager. What sort of duck walks into a house though??! Very unsettling... pic.twitter.com/u3DTxZ48Rj

I had a similar experience with a chicken. She followed me into my home. No idea where she came from. pic.twitter.com/8Tq2htkd6D

Meanwhile, Nicholls also revealed that it wasn't the first time she was being visited by random animals.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I also have this rat, who keeps coming to wash his hands in this bowl of water. 😳 I tried to put a peanut-laden trap down, & a badger ran off with the whole rat-trap last night. The animals are running some kind of racket. My cats are fired btw. 😐 pic.twitter.com/s4xU4dni4O

My (stupid) cat has brought me duckling in the past. For some reason she licks them (?). This is a duckling covered in cat-lick. (They are easy to return: I have just walked to the bottom of the garden where there is a cross mummy-duck loudly making a safeguarding complaint.) pic.twitter.com/ZrzUMqPej8

The local squirrels are actually more intimidating than cute, especially if you look like you might have a snack 😐 pic.twitter.com/EHcwOsnUur

Here is the cat who is scared of rodents (sulking because is hot today). Also the open door which is a concept that seems to be baffling lots of people - we are v low-tech in England when it comes to home heat regulation ... :) pic.twitter.com/1nP0B39qFk
