I had some tame mallards in my pond. I loved seeing them take off and then come back and land in the pond. The problem was they would go dabble in the front road ditch and then fly up as a car came by and get hit. The worst thing was they kept dabbling at the edge of the pond and the pond edge started eroding. Then one year we had a family of foxes set up housekeeping and that was the end of the ducks. I didn't go looking for anymore.
