From the DCVB, re pato:

—Amagueu els patos, que vénen els músics!: ho diuen per recomanar prendre precaucions davant un perill imminent (Val.). Els músics hostatjats tenen fama de menjar tot quant troben a la casa.

One recalls a barbecue gig where all the meat and beer was consumed before the 50-odd guests arrived in their bus. Billing was a challenge.
