Duck

Ducks are small animals which can be found in Rivers or lakes. They are very small and drop bones when found on ground. They are a fairly good way to start training the Magic skill (Low-Level Curse spells and even the strike spells). The best place to kill ducks in a Members world is the Fisher Realm, because there are plenty of them in a Pond and there are never any other players there. The best place to kill ducks for Free-to-play is the River Lum east of Lumbridge, because there are several ducks and few players take advantage of the training. You also can kill ducks and Drakes north north-west of Lumbridge castle close to the chicken coop.

Fighting strategy
Aside from using halberds, players can only range or mage them.

If the duck is next to the shore, the player can hit it with a melee weapon, but this occurrence is rare, with the exception of the Fishing Guild docks, where there are over 20 of them, and the small pond in Falador Park there are also some ducks on the shore beside the Lumbridge Chicken Coop

''Note: Ranging Ducks will cause you to lose your ammunition. Because of this, using Ranged to kill ducks is a method that is rarely used by most players.''

Trivia

 * When the Canoe update was released, a glitch allowed players to walk onto the water, making killing ducks much easier.
 * In the River Lum, if ducklings are following the duck you killed, they will say "Eep!" and swim away, most likely that it was their mother. However, soon after, the ducklings will find another "mother" and start following that duck, an if you kill that duck they will say "Eep!" again and find another duck to follow.
 * Once the Christmas 2009 event started, the ducks started saying Quack instead of quack.
 * Every once in awhile a duck will say "Quack?", and a her ducklings will say "Eep!" apparently responding to its mothers call.
 * At the area close to the chicken coop north-west of Lumbridge Castle, when ducklings are following a duck and you kill the duck, the ducklings will say "Cheep cheep!" and then "Eep!"
