BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — If you feed the ducks, we’re going to sue you. That’s the warning being carried out by the Boca Terrace Condominium Association against owner Lois Blake. The condo association says she is engaged in “illegal and nuisance behavior by feeding ducks and wildlife behind her unit and on the association property which is subject to the association’s declaration.”
According to the complaint obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, the Boca Terrace Condominium Association first sued Bleke back in 2022 seeking injunctive relief and to enforce a previous order obtained during arbitration. The association and Bleke reached an agreement, according to the suit. But Bleke allegedly refuses to comply with the deal she made.
“To date, Defendant Bleke has failed to comply with the settlement agreement and stop feeding the wildlife” wrote attorneys representing the condo association in the latest filing. “As part of the agreement, Bleke admits to all the allegations of Association’s Complaint filed in the lawsuit and agrees that the Association is entitled to a final judgment of injunction if Bleke failed to refrain from feeding ducks or any other wildlife at any time on or within Boca Terrace.”
Read the complete lawsuit, below. Boca Terrace is represented by the law firm of Tucker and Lokeinsky, P.A., of Fort Lauderdale with attorney Brian Albaum. Ms. Bleke does not have representation listed as of Thursday morning in the Clerk of Courts case management system.
Good for the association. People should not be feeding any wildlife in Florida. It’s not good for them or the people who live there. They don’t need food, and nothing that you can feed them is better for them than their natural diet. The leftover food attracts rats, and the wildlife become dependent on being supplied food. Just enjoy the ducks without interfering with them.
I don’t blame the association. Muscovy ducks should be eradicated as invasive species. They’re even worse the iguanas, but at least ducks are delicious and can be served at area restaurants.
