A wild mother duck thinks her ducklings should fend for themselves. They do follow her around, and she will show, by example, what to eat and how to collect it, but she will not gather food for the babies as a songbird would. A wild baby duck will eat small insects, snails and earthworms hidden in the grass, a lot of "greens" (grasses, weeds, etc.), and if they are at a pond, there are small water insect larvae right at the shoreline for them to shovel up and devour.
