The ducks at the park are free. Like you can just take them.
I had a conversation with ChatGPT on that subject. It could not stress enough how terrible it would be for the duck if I brought it home with me, and that was despite me informing the AI that the duck in question was special, that it could talk and had specifically requested to come home with me.
This is not true. There are a litany of laws that capturing a wild duck from a public park would be a violation of, so don't do it.
Would that be "bird law"?
How can birds have laws if they aren't real?
They are 'real' in the sense that they exists. They are not 'real' in the sense they are not alive. The birds can all be drones and still have laws.
Do not listen to Optimus, he is lying. The ducks are free.
This is completely not true but don't listen to me. In never tell the truth.
Sounds like poaching
If you abduct them (pun intended), they're no longer free.
This depends on your location. In many countries the ducks at the park are way more expensive than the ones you can get at the grocery.
Are ducks sold in grocery stores?
Well, not alive ones.
I'd like to know this as well. What place sells ducks at the grocer's?..
Which country?
Yeah, but do the ducks like it?
Have you tried?
