Ducks used are commercial type which are very fatty.   Wild duck

Even wild duck has substantial subcutaneous fat.  It keeps them warm
in the water.
 

The wild ducks I have cleaned and cooked had very little fat, and not
a heck of a lot of meat. They are hardly worth killing, cleaning and
cooking.  Domestic duck, OTOH has so much fat you can get some cheap
entertainment watching then shrink while they cook.

Lol true!  I save the Duck fat in jars in the fridge for random dishes,
promarily potatoes crisped in cast iron, or rubbing on raw potatoes
then baking.
