Domestic ducks are not like wild waterfowl that inhabit our ponds and lakes and cannot thrive when left to fend for themselves in the wild. They are unable to fly or fly minimally at best, they lack foraging skills, endure harsh weather conditions and are vulnerable to humans who may do them harm as well as natural predators and other ducks who may compete for territory, food sources and mates.
