Starting in the middle ages, they used to catch ducks and other waterfowl with a special building that was a big trap.
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.
Habahnow, Wow, now I see it. Thanks for resolving this grand mystery for me lol.
tiramichu, Learning that ‘decoy’ comes from ‘duck cage’ is extremely interesting!
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
