ABSOLUTELY! I just bought my first duck two weeks ago and since I've been spending hours with him every day, taking care of all his needs, he now thinks I'm his mother. He literally "calls" me and has a way of "talking" to me through his little "cheep cheep" sounds. He always responds to my voice and runs to jump into my lap every time he thinks danger is near. It warms my heart every time. : ) I have often heard it said that the first "thing" a duckling sees is (to him) his "mother." I will add, however, that it is extremely important you spend plenty of loving time with your baby duck in order to win his trust and affection. From what I've read, you can really get a loyal pet out of a duck if you take the time to be his surrogate mom. : ) So yeah, ducks do imprint if you make it possible! ; )
