she knows that most predators can't get to her eggs and babies. When it's time for the babies to be on the water, they have to go through the building to get to a pond on campus because the babies can't fly yet.

A relative lived at a nursing home that had an enclosed courtyard in the middle of the building. A mama duck did the same thing, which was a source of much delight for the residents.
