dead duck

tonight some of my classmates found a dead duck outside of our building on campus.
keep in mind UAB is a very urban campus. no ponds or such.
where did the duck come from?
why/how did it die?
could it be...the bird flu???

my professor called campus police to notify them.
the dead duck was still there two hours later.
if the police actually come to see the dead duck, what will they do with it?
i think they will simply dispose of it.
my classmates want it taken to the lab.
who knows?
it made us laugh.
poor thing is dead either way, so maybe it isn't funny.
oops.
