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

It's a shame passenger pigeon nets have fallen out of style. I imagine you could catch a lot of ducks with one of those

That's how you get bit by a duck

How about something more beginner friendly, like a goose or a swan?

It’s fledgling season in the northern hemisphere, and lots of fledglings don’t naturally have a ton of fear of humans. Adult birds might also ‘let’ people pet them after a window strike; they don’t always look like a bloody mess so people don’t always realize how injured they are.

There are no wild birds, because there are no birds at all. You can pet the drone once the battery has run out

Usually the ones that let you approach are the sick or injured ones
