My female mallard flew away, please help :(

Just a Psa, it’s not cruel to clip wings. At all. It hurts about as much as someone cutting some of your hair.

I’m so sorry. Hope she comes back soon or you can find her. Clipping her wing is probably the best thing to do if you want her to stay around. Good luck

Thank you! I've studied and researched as much as possible to give my Gilly the best life, I know more than my family does but they wouldn't let me If she comes back I'm just gonna do it

Thank you very much, yes I'll clip her wings definitely.

I’m so sorry about that. Yes I agree with you. Clip her wings. It will save you some grief.

If you really want a duck get a domesticated farm duck, you won't need to clip the wings. And it will know it’s home.

Did you ever find your Gilly?

I just read the post and comments, that’s really sad that she flew off but because she is a wild duck she should be able to take care of herself out in the wild. But yes, did you ever find your Gilly? Or if not did you get another demesticated duck as a pet instead?

FYI it's a felony to take wild ducks, mess with nest, or mess with eggs

She's a wild duck, and now she is free. Watching her fly away would bring me great joy if I raised her to health ❤
Hard no on clipping her wings. That's not cruel for a domestic duck, but yes it very much is for a wild one.
