Yup. It is indeed a hybrid between a domestic duck and a mallard. The blue wing bars are highly suggestive of that.

1. Immediately call 911.
2. Rant wildly about your duck intruder to dispatch.
3. Hang up abruptly.
4. Wait patiently for assistance.
5. Report back to ATOT.
6. Profit.

That's brilliant! Although he should describe it as a "baby duck-billed dinosoar" and express worry that it's mother must be nearby and what if its mommy is pissed?!11one
