Because they're not made out of wood...
Now that leads to an interesting thought: In order to become a Duck, one must
first be turned into a Newt[ling] (or at least perform a Newtling ritual). Then
it must "get better", possibly via a Chalana Arroy ritual. Finally, one must
become, in some sense, an Elf ( ie be "Made of Wood" ), and acquire powers from
Cragspider ( "it's a Witch!").
