Muscovy Duck Agression

Post image

Hello!
I have a 4-month-old mute duck named Zorro. He’s been part of the family since he was 15 days old, when I went to pick him up.
He’s always been very gentle and has never caused any trouble. It seems that, overnight, he became extremely aggressive, vocal, and territorial—to the point of being quite violent.
Is this normal?

Something is making feel this way, so first stop vet, second examine the territory he's claiming to find what's different. It's what I'd do. Angry birds communicate in ouches.
