Push or pull?
A toy car: push, or pull on a string. A boat: both, depending on whether you row or tow it. A duck moves itself, which is the interesting answer. A ball: push. A cup: both. A key: both.
A duck is the one that does not fit, and that is deliberate — some things are moved and some move themselves. Alberta's outcome covers movement of objects, humans and other animals.
