Method

Rub the butter over your ducks, with the thyme. Put a few sprigs inside, too.
Pound the bread in mortar, and soften it with olive oil. With wild duck be generous with the oil; farmed duck is fattier and you will want a drier mixture. Mix in the garlic and the oregano, and stuff the ducks.
Beat the honey with a little more oil and drizzle it over the ducks.
