Ducks and geese are probably fine but require a pond outdoors. And, you know, outdoors.

Some people nearby have a turkey, I guess that's an option too.

I've done ducks. They are a lot of work. They're very messy, but have big personalities. They are adorable as ducklings but once they are grown you are -- at best -- just another duck to them. They don't want human affection if they have a flock. Geese, on the other hand will love you as MOM forever if you raise them from goslings. The lady here with domestic turkeys has some very affectionate examples, too, but I remember a book where the author raised wild turkeys and was attacked by one of the Toms once it was breeding age.
