Amykins,
How did you tame your call duck? Mine is WILD!!!
Did you have yours since they hatched?
My female Bean is skittish, since she's not imprinted on people. She's sweet in her own way, though. She always wants to be wherever you are, she'll hop onto the bed, or beanbag, or sofa, or wherever to just sit with you. If you try to pick her up she'll bolt, though.
But Wobbles? I hatched him and spoiled him rotten. The trick is to get a duckling who is imprinted on humans, and spend as much time with them as possible as they grow up. Cuddle time is important, it not only helps form a bond but it teaches them that hands = good. It's also the most crucial time to teach them what behaviors are good and which are bad. If you can do all that, and your duck's individual personality lends itself naturally to it, you'll get a calm, snuggly duck who loves attention!
