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.
