Is there any way to "tame" a duck?

I just had this random question, because most of our ducks are scared of us. Is there any way to really get close to them?

give them some cracked corn. Put it on the floor near you and crouch down. If they are nervous of you then move back. Slowly get closer. After a few days hold some corn in your hand and crowch down. Don’t force them to eat it just let them examine it don’t move your hands or get back up

After a few weeks you will be hand feeding and after 2 months you will be able to pick them up easily

When you put the food down call treat treats or something like that. Eventually they will come to that call

How old are they?

they are brave enough to eat from our hands already, they just run away if we don't have corn and we come close.

3 are about 2 years, the other 3 are less than a year

green peas, or chopped up lettuce and kale are my ducks favorites and much healthier than corn. corn is ok sometimes but too much is bad like for us to eat too much candy would be bad lol

yep, it is candy to them
