Is it okay to release these ducks?

So I found these call ducks when they were a few days old in a plastic bag near a road. I took them in and raised them in my house while they got attached to me. They aren’t afraid of humans and they will soon be able to fly. We sadly don’t have room for them anymore because we live in the city and my wants to release them in a place where many ducks reunite. I know that they are call ducks and I want to know if it is a possibility or not to release them Because winter is approaching and it gets very cold here in Montreal. Thank you

Absolutely not. Since they were raised by humans they won't stand a chance in the wild. I would depending on the legality of raising call ducks in your area, call the game warden or find them a new home. Whatever you do do NOT release them into the wild

What is the game warden?

Why would a game warden be concerned about call ducks?

And are they going to fly away one day?

Do not. They are domestic ducks, it would be no better than just sending a dog or cat out into the wild

Game wardens are in charge of wildlife management

Not sure if call ducks are native to the area, if they are that'd be something under their authority

Please don't. If you can't keep them then sell or give them away on Kijiji! These are domestic ducks, and I hate that someone left them in a plastic bag.

If you weren't 3 1/2 hours away from me, I'd take them!

Calls are a domestic breed. They're no different than hookbilled, pekins or swedish
