I worked with a woman who during a Thanksgiving dinner at her house had
a duck fall down the chimney into the burning fireplace.
The oil in the ducks feathers caught fire and it ran around the house
squawking and setting fire to the curtains, sofa, and her aunt while a
dozen people chased it.
They finally killed it and beat the flames out with a frying pan.
Apparently it was a Wood Duck which likes to nest in hollow trees and figured the chimney was just a big nesting hole.

They should sell that in the shops, self cooking dinner.
