Could i legally take a duck from a park as a pet

[HalfMouldyBread]

i recently found out that in certain parts of the united states you can legally take ducks from the park for free, and very much want to do that. Would i be allowed to do so in victoria. My intention would be to keep it as a pet, assuming i were to give it adequate care, do any necessary registration and vaccinations if needed would it be legal?

Generally - no. If it's a native duck - especially no. I suggest reading here: https://www.vic.gov.au/wildlife-management-and-control-authorisations and here: https://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/images/fact-sheets/13 - Ducks & Ducklings.pdf

If you're interested in wildlife, I suggest you look into becoming a foster carer: Wildlife Victoria - Volunteer

Buy a Peaking duck. I collect their eggs. You can teach them to come when you call them. I do think you could get into trouble with the police if you just snatch one from the park.

Never apply USA law here. They encourage their citizens to cary guns ffs...
