In the wild? Or in captivity? In captivity, in western countries, they get fed artificial food, but in Asia, the duck is an integral part of the rice harvest. Ducks are taken out each day to walk around the fields, eating insects (such as locust young), frogs and other threats to the rice. Farmers even cut up snakes for them. In return, the ducks lay eggs full of protein, which make up for the lack of other protein sources in the farmer's diet. The ducks also help turn the soil, and, when they are housed, their excreta is used to feed fish and fertilise the field.
