@Pepijn Oh yes, I tried to pick up and catch a duck. A duck mum. She had decided to make her nest on our balcony (while we were away on a holiday), which has brick walls as balustrade. So when the time came for her and the ducklings to leave the nest and go for the nearest body of water, the ducklings were trapped. So I tried to catch the ducklings and their mum to release them downstairs. It was impossible to catch mama duck, she flew away.
