Don't have much to do with duckings, or indeed, any sort of baby bird, do you? They're programmed to follow mother. Simple. I had to rescue plover chicks once in exactly the same situation. The parents were going insane but I managed to get the chicks out before the parents started attacking. Needn't have bothered. Between butcher birds, foxes, snakes and cats there was absolutely nothing left of the chicks within four days of hatching. I was in that area for three and a half years and I don't think the parent birds managed to successfully raise a single chick in all that time.
There are some highly intelligent bird species out there but they're vastly outweighed by the stupid ones. Bit like humans, really.
