well some are here, and those have a better chance at living the scared ones
sadly
a lot that people tend to pick up as little ducklings and they maybe nicer to humans later in their lives, however, they are more prone to be hit by cars attacked by dogs and captured by humans

which my neighbor had saved a couple of ducklings that happened to

the ducks that stick close to their mother are the best to survive, in the wild
