Starting in the middle ages, they used to catch ducks and other waterfowl with a special building that was a big trap.
PoopingCough, This is very interesting but dang that Wikipedia page is kind of a mess compared to what I’m used to seeing
awwwyissss, (edited ) You could edit it, even small changes help and it’s easy
tiramichu, Learning that ‘decoy’ comes from ‘duck cage’ is extremely interesting!
Habahnow, Fascinating but I don’t quite understand how the ducks are trapped. Do they throw a net once the ducks get into the smaller area?
FlyingSquid, 
I think so, I’m not quite clear on it either.
Microplasticbrain, There is a video on the wiki page, essentially they lure/scare the duck down a tunnel made of a net with a trap door at the end and they can retrieve the duck there.
