Stanley Park Managing Director Bob McKean told 22News a group of teenagers killed Ozzie, the park's resident muscovy duck.
McKean said witnesses saw the teens kill the duck but by the time security arrived, the teens were gone.
Ozzie flew into the park several years ago and never left.
McKean says he became quite popular for his "odd ball" look.
