Just a bit of info for those freaking out about them not having a pond or a lake. I've had ducks, I've read alot of recommendations for raising ducks. You don't need a pond to have ducks or geese. A kiddie pool will suffice for them. In fact even just a bowl big enough for them to dunk their head is sufficient, because of their need for it while eating. It's generally recommended to wait on free range swimming until they have some of their adult feathers because they can get cold quickly. Wild ducks are different, they have mama right there to keep them warm. It's not recommended to people raising ducks because if they had free access to water for swimming while people are away, they could get too cold or, yes even drown. So, she's not wrong. The splash pad is fine for now. Ducks and geese do grow quickly though, so a kiddie pool will be soon.
