Need some advice from you guys.

There's a lot of Mallard ducks at the apartment complex I live in. Yesterday, I heard people yelling at ducks, I thought it was kids being cunts so I went outside to get the kids to leave the ducks alone. Turns out it was a woman and her kid. There was one female duck with an injured leg, and a bunch of male ducks. According to them, all the males except one (I assume the female's mate) had been "being mean to" or attacking the female. By the time I got there the people were already keeping the other ducks away so I didn't see exactly what happened.
Now today I heard ducks making noise so I went outside, there were 9 or so males and 1 female (not sure if it was the same female as yesterday) and they were surrounding her and on top of her and biting her. I ran at them and they all flew off but then when they got away from me they did it again. And one was right on top of her, so maybe the one was fucking her. I don't know.

Anyway, is this normal Mallard duck mating behavior? Are they just fucking gangbanging her and it's normal? Or does it sound like they're attacking her with intent to hurt her, in which case I should intervene (get her away from them)?

Not sure if it's mating season right now, this is in Utah in the southwestern USA.

they will do that in spring, yes. the female probably did not have an established mate male yet so there was competition. one male will win, usually, and stick with the female from then on.

allaboutbirds.org says
>Mallard pairs are generally monogamous, but paired males pursue females other than their mates. So-called “extra-pair copulations” are common among birds and in many species are consensual, but male Mallards often force these copulations, with several males chasing a single female and then mating with her.

Once the pairing has formed, the male will defend the female from other males.

Thanks, anons! Have a cute baby duck.

also, if the female did have a mate and that male was not able to provide an adequate defense, same situation occurs. it seems brutal but keep in mind, the intent is not the hurt the female. just survival of the fittest.

They are cruel bastards with creepy penises.
