Wonder how wild duck confit would taste? 

 

It's like some fish--it depends what they eat.  IME, migratory birds taste better (less fishy) than resident ducks.  Where I live, the flyers have more orange feet, whereas the residents tend to have yellower.

 

Wild duck legs are pretty small and sinewy.  Legs on wigeon and teal can be tiny.  Fat mallards with their gullets full of grain--that's what you want, IMO.

 

Maybe you should invest in a duck press?  Christofle makes a nice one!
