I was curious if when mounting a duck in a flying/landing position to where the duck’s back is against the wall and the bird is sticking out somewhat from the wall would the mount be more secure if you were to use an all threaded rod rather than a wire?  If a wire is sufficient what gauge wire would you suggest on a mallard to have a solid rather than a wobbly mount?

Go with 10 gauge for a mallard.  I would not recommend threaded rod .

Yeah a threaded rod is no good ! 10 ga. Wire is best . Threaded rod can and will break if you bend it  .
