Good question.  Call a pet store in the area and ask...someone would probably know.  Or call the city and ask to talk to someone in Animal Control.  

Here is a link I found on the Santa Cruz Animal Control website:

You can look up codes:  6.12.120  and 6,12.130

Neither say anything about not owning a duck.  There are noise ordinances and you can't have them in a public place.

Further proof that you can own a duck....there is even a PET DUCK AND WATERFOWL CLUB in Santa Cruz!!!!!  Here is the link:  http://duck.meetup.com/1/about/

Answer 11

Hmmm interesting that you bring up owning a duck in the dining section. Is this plate or pet??  LOL.....

Answer 12

There should be humane requirements in any city and in any restaurant.  Putting long terrible nails through the creature's head and then roading it should not be allowed.  Such restaurants should be shut down.
