Given the right conditions and a suitable diet most species of waterfowl will breed in captivity and for many keepers of wildfowl it is the breeding that offers both a challenge and a reward. When preparing nest sites consideration should be given to the type of nest site favoured by the species in the wild and in basic terms trying to create a suitable substitute while all the time remembering that this is not an exact science.
