Building a natural habitat for ducks/geese in Houston

[jtd002]

I'm new to keeping water fowl as pets but was around it quite a bit as a child. I'm looking to build a pond and stock it with appropriate fish for food (for the birds)and Mallards and possibly a goose. I'm looking for any advice from the pond to the fish to the ducks. Best type of pond? Natural or filtered? Where to get the ducks and/or fish? Any info would be appreciated.

You may have better luck if you post in the Ducks section.

Nice to have you here!
