The day a duck tried to become a line mechanic

Last Tuesday at the regional airport, a mallard waddled right into our hangar during a Cessna 172 annual. It must have followed the tug in, because next thing I know, it's standing under the wing staring at a dropped 10mm socket like it's a shiny bug. My lead, Frank, tried to shoo it out with a broom, but the duck just quacked and waddled over to inspect the landing gear strut. We had to stop work for a solid 20 minutes while animal control came to gently escort our new 'trainee' back to the pond. Has anyone else had wildlife try to join the crew on a job?
