Do ducklings recognize and bond with their owner?

Ducklings do recognize their owner. A duckling raised from a young age will treat the owner as its mother and like to follow wherever the owner goes. Also, once a duckling recognizes its owner, it will like to quack at the owner and may even boldly jump onto the owner, and if it hears the owner’s voice it will immediately run to the owner’s side. If you want a duckling to bond with you, it’s best to raise it from a young age, feed it on a fixed schedule and in fixed amounts, and during feeding gently interact with them so the duck gradually becomes familiar with the owner’s scent.
