I took a duckling from the park (legal where I am) and I want to return it. Will the parents still take it back, or will they reject it?

No. It's your duckling now. Take good care of it. Contact local nature and conservation societies and get help so it can be raised properly and returned to the wild when it's old enough. It would be best if professionals or very experienced people were willing to take it on as a rehab project. You might be able to do it eventually if you're willing to learn enough, but you will not be able to do so fast enough to save this one. Don't do this again. If you do, research and study what to do BEFORE you do it, not after. This duckling has very little time to have a chance at proper release, and it is probably already too late. If you care at all, get on this and take care of this problem within the next day. Every hour delay is too long.

Probably I've had geese raise chickens just because they got broody

It could be dependent on the species, the way they use to recognize one another, and how long they have been apart. Worth taking a quick read through this

you can contact whatever wildlife resource you guys have and ask them what the safest thing to do is.
>>4789408
I am not dismissing this, but, do you have a source or experience behind this? Anon did not even mention how long he had been holding on to the duck
>>
>>4789402
This is bait, right?
If not you're piece of retarded shit.

Bro it’s a duck. It’s livestock.

Not necessarily. There are plenty of wild ducks at parks as well, there's no guarantee that this one's domesticated.
>>
>>4789402
Why did you pick it up in the first place? Like, what was your game plan here? Do you have autism?

Since this seems like a good thread for duck posting, I recently discovered that a duck decided to set up a nest in my bushes right in front of my house. The duck and eggs have been there for ten days at this point. Should I set some food out for them or something when the hatch?

Do americans really take food to other people's births?

After a couple has a child friends and family usually come over to help cook for them since the new mother and father will be both tired and busy. Where do you live that this isn't the case? I thought this was just a given for human behavior worldwide.

The government doesn't want you to know this, but the ducks at the park are free. You can just take them home. I have over 40 ducks.

>>4789402
Just give him to a farm with a pond. They like ducks because they eat mosquito larvae

That's a fucking Canada gosling

OP here, my aunt decided to take it from me. She will take good care of it. I'd say it worked out in the end.

>>4794064
Yeah idk what the difference is. It looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
