1. I used to have a pet duck.
When I was a kid. :-)

2. You really don't notice them
They blend in with the rest of the house

3. They got most of the crumbs off the floor...
Wildlife as cleaning service. Gotta love it.

5. That's the clue -- now you know how to get them to leave

Drop breadcrumbs on the floor, leading to the door. Open door and continue to drop breadcrumbs. The ducks will just waddle out of your house while following the breadcrumb trail.

9. They left as soon as the kids stopped throwing cereal to them
I think I need to clean today..."Wild duck invasions are Mother Nature's way of telling you to vacuum the floor."

7. I've seen many act like that
There were a couple of mallards that used to waddle up to the Starbucks near me. They knew there were a lot of crumbs left around the outside chairs. They just went about their business of eating dropped crumbs and looking for handouts.
