Yeah I'm really not sure, here is another video of himWonder why he isn't flying? Mallards are great fliers
Seems he made friends with a couple local mallards as you can see he is very similar in shape and size. Makes me feel better seeing him with friends last few times he has kinda been hanging out by himself. I'm 100% positive he can't fly though there is no chance he wouldn't have flown away from me chasing him. Only thing I can think is if whoever dumped him there clipped his wings, he molted recently, or maybe if he is young and just doesn't know he can fly yet. He is EXTREMELT elusive still I'm thinking I may have to give up my efforts he is very smart and fast and there are gators in the pond but I think the tall grass he retreats into is too thick for a gator to get in. I'm gonna keep checking in on him and bringing him treats to make sure he is doing okay but based on how good he is at eluding me I think he will be fine there especially if he gets his flight. Also the pond is in a cemetery so I definitely don't want to disturb people visiting their loves ones by chasing around a duck if I don't have to.
