We had some ducks that came when we called 'dill, dill, dill, dill, dill'.

When you feed the ducks call them 'duck duck duck duck' or whatever you want and soon they will associate the calling with food and come whenever you call.

It is good to give them some food when you call them, just to keep up that association.

DO NOT throw a duckling into water. Once the duckling is old enough, about a week, start by introducing them to the water by putting them in or near a relatively shallow body of water that is not deeper than the duckling is tall. Eventually the duck will learn to paddle and swimming will not be a problem even in very deep bodys of water.

You can't train them to do that. You have to get them back in to their house yourself. I get my ducks back in at night by tapping the ground with a fly swatter.

You do not need to teach a duckling to swim, they can swim from birth. A duckling will just jump in and swim!

I simply call 'Ducks Go To Bed!' and they will come from where ever to me! Ducks are so lovable and truly are one of the kindest animals there are!

How does the mother duck care for her baby ducks?

A mother duck takes care of her ducklings pretty much the way a mom takes care of her children. But unlike human moms, duck moms don't have to teach their ducklings how to eat, or to swim, or to preen, they are born knowing how to do that from birth. She does however, have to keep a very, very good eye on them. Ducklings are tremendously curious and get lost easily in a big pond. I have seen mother ducks search for their lost child and then scold, yes scold, them quite angrily to stay with the brood.
