with her beak :)
Birds feed their young with regurgitated food, beak to beak.
Non-waterfowl feed their young via regurgiation, however, ducks and geese do not. The children are born knowing how to "dabble" or just dive under and eat whatever root or plant is under the water.

∙ 14y agoDucks are quite picky about nesting. Of course, you need soft material around which which the ducks can nest. A good idea is to get your ducks saw dust or any sized wood chips and place it in a safe area where the female may be left alone. Find a corner where your ducks feel comfortable. If your duck does not lay eggs then it is either the wrong time of year or there are no males around, yes ducks will lay eggs unfertilized, but often need some encouragement. If the duck does not willingly lay eggs in the nest, it could be that it is too domestic and is lacking the natural instinct of laying and taking care of her eggs. I hope my answer helped.

∙ 14y agoI was wondering the same thing in that I have a mother bird nested in the backyard. I was told by one person that does a lot of duck rehabilitation that the mama duck does not eat much b/c she sort of goes into a semi-hibernation while sitting on the eggs.
However, I just read another source on line that stated it was unusual for a mama duck not to eat while nesting. Not sure which is right, I am continuing my research. I did but a few small slices of apple out there and she did eat it. Probably should just leave them alone they know better what to do than we do. Just trying to help!

∙ 16y agoYes, the hen takes breaks for feeding. Her wet feathers are actually necessary for the proper development of the eggs.

∙ 12y agoThe mother duck leads her babies to the food. And that food is usually some kind of vegetation at the bottom of a pond or stream.

A baby bird fell out of the nest and the mother and father are feeding it still What should you do?
If the bird is still laying there and the mother/father is still feeding the baby bird, the bird must have just fell out of the nest and there isn't anything wrong with it. One of the parents will get it to its nest or get it to a safe place and take care of it. If the parent(s) do not want anything to do with it then the bird is sick and not eating, they just give up. You should place the bird in a warm shoe box with hay and make sugar water and feed that to the bird by using a dropper. You don't want to feed it to much. There are site that tell you directions with feeding a baby bird. :)
