    We shot a canvasback with a zip tie band on one of the legs. Anyone have any idea what this is or how it got there?

    It was a pet that was released or got out of an Avairy

    I think you both may be on the right track.

    I think it was being used as a live decoy and broke its leg hold:dv :dv

    I have an aviary and mark my birds that way. I try not to leave them on too long as they can tighten up on the leg. I mark pairs or maybe birds going to a sale, things like that. Hey, its different and still pretty cool. Adds a little mystery!!! Dan
