We had two pet ducks when I was 2 and we lived in Madison, Ohio. They would waddle a few blocks down to Lake Erie and come back up at dinnertime and peck at the garage door till my mother fed them. This was according to my mother, and I think she made that up.
I picked mine up by the neck and it was choking, and I brought it inside to my mother, claiming something was wrong with my duck. She gave it mouth-to-mouth and saved it. I'm thinking she made that up too. We did have the ducks, though--there're pictures.
