May be some type of 'carpet beetle" larvae. We have all run into the bug problem at some time or another. Look closely and see if there is any small spider like webbing on your birds. I would suggest freezing the whole birds for two weeks or fumigating them. We just burned some of our stuff to keep the bugs from getting the other stuff in our showroom. Start a monthly bug control program!
sounds like Athletes foot, try some Dr. Scholl's foot powder. Was the Duck itching his feet at any time of being mounted?
you can almost bet money on it.
Look for roach droppings in the area.They will also eat duck feet.
Most likley ants. there all over down here.
