Mallard ducks will use
artificial nests if they are constructed properly and placed
correctly. Nests must be located over water and must provide
side and possibly overhead cover. To prevent nest predation,
structures must be installed far from the shore. Since nests
must be maintained, you will want to consider accessibility
when choosing a nest type.
