@OrangeR @esistangerichtet @fzer0 @lacybarry there's always one that's "standing guard" with its head up. Don't try to pick up that one. Pickup one of the ones that is furiously eating grass.

Nope, I chickened out already once. (You can see the watchgoose in the second pic). Well... it had rained and areas were muddy I couldn't run fast enough. Who am I to disturb their lunch ?
Also, they respect nothing, they went into the water in spite of it being forbidden.

I wouldn't try again. It chased me away looking ferocious.

The elites don’t want you to know this but the ducks at the park are free.
You can take them home.
I have 458 ducks. -
How to pick up a duck
(Common problems and mistakes) -
@fzer0 this reminds me of picking up a lost swan when I was about 14 years old. Everyone around me was panicking. I just gently picked it up, held its wings close to its body, ignored its hissing and walked two blocks from where I found it and put it down at the waters edge and stepped back. It looked at me, shook itself, waddled to the water and swam away. I'm still not sure if I was just lucky, or if people are freaked out by swans.

I had a pet duck when I was a kid. She would follow me around, but when she got tired of walking, she would lean against something to let me know. I would pick her up from behind, and lay her on her back on top of my head. I could hold her in place with a hand on her belly. She would cluck contentedly in my ear as I walked. A duck will not poop while on their back, so much care must be taken during the dismount. It is important to aim her off to one side, away from others@Fridgitator @fzer0
This sounds like advice learned from experience.

@fzer0 @lacybarry does this work on Canada Geese too?
@johnefrancis
Geese are generally unpickupable. Admire from distance.

@lacybarry @fzer0 yes, Duck Consent is a very important step
@ndevenish
Yes. Sadly some people don't give a duck about that

@Timo_Micro 8 or 9yr old me once tried this technique with a swan. Got a free doctor visit out of it and two days off from school!
