And having to pay hefty fines.

As a wildlife rehabber of many years and owner of a certified wildlife habitat, I can say that 95% of the time it is better to leave the babies alone, just like the mother of the babes does.
As krcote said, Leave Wildlife Wild. My addition to that would be when impossible, contact a rescue/rehab organization. They have the knowledge, the means and the legal permits.

Thats fair enough, respect for that... But not everybody knows every rule or law... Might of been nicer to say Did you know thats against the law?
I read the rules of this site about being nice to people..

Some people have big hearts and just trying to do a good deed.. just sounded a bit abrupt to someone who may not know the things that qualfied ppl do..

Where I live its all within Law to rescue wildlife, so i guess we all see things different ways

It might be a good Idea to ask your parents to find out in your local area.. If the mother wasn't wild you may need to make sure with the owners of the mother duck a few things.. But I can see why you are trying to look after this little duck..... I hope you manage to find out your rights soon​
