Maintain a Calm Environment

Solution

Minimize sudden disturbances, presence of strange animals (especially dogs), and stressful situations.

Explanation

Ducks often quack loudly when startled, excited (e.g., seeing their owner bringing food), or alarmed by perceived threats. A predictable routine and minimizing stressors can reduce noise triggers.

Notes

Familiarize ducks with regular sights and sounds. Secure fencing helps keep stray animals out.
