Ducks causing mess at area park

The Tyrone Council voted Monday to prohibit feeding waterfowl, like ducks,  to eliminate a nasty mess at a park in the borough. 
 
According to the Altoona Mirror, duck feces has caused quite the mess at Reservoir Park. 
 
The issue first came up last April when a group requested to use the park for a children’s activity. 
Back then, a State Game Commission Officer deemed the park a health hazard. 
 
Along with the ban for feeding the ducks put in place, the Council will now discuss ways to scare the ducks away from the park.
