That does not change anything about ducks being tasty. It only says that you wouldn’t experience it.

You are wrong taste is not univerebut subjective. There are plenty of people who would perceive the flesh of ducks as being not tasty - vegetarians and even non vegeterians. The sentence in question is a subjective Geschmacksurteil, as they say in the discipline of aesthetics. Peace out
People always think that a bird eating another bird is cannibalism but like... people are mammals. You know what else is a mammal? Pigs, cows, rabbits, sheep, so on
In the food section I was missing foods/helpful words like tofu, tempeh, oat milk, beans, kale, nuts, salad :-) I appreciate all the work behind duolingo nonetheless!
Clearly you missed the part about the evil duck eating meat (Zła kaczka je mięso) And that a fish is not a vegetable - scolding all the fish eating "vegetarians" (ryba nie jest warzywem)
A ty, czy jeść ryby w wigilijna? (przepraszam, ja nie rozumiem po polsku dobrze. Uczę się, dla mojej babcia.)
Tak jem ryby. Don't worry, my Polish isn't very good either. That's interesting, uczę się polskiego, by porozmawiać z dziadkiem
No, nonvirile plural and neuter singular just happen to inflect in the same manner.

I am finding this a strange sentence. In English we usually say ' the duck is tasty' not ducks are tasty.
Truth be told, this sentence being in plural is more of a grammar exercise to match the adjective form rather than a realistic sentence. It just means something along "Ducks are tasty animals" rather than "Duck meat is tasty".
Re Polish plural adjectives: "In plural, the form is the same as neuter singular, unless referring specifically to men or people in general." eg singular adj. {smaczny, smaczna. smaczne} > plural adj. {smaczne}. See LearnPolish24.com "Adjectives" -https://learnpolish24.com/home/artykul/1646/adjectives
Why is it "Kaczki są smaczne" and not "Kaczki są smaczna" ?
Kaczka is feminine, so even if it's plural, shouldn't it still use the same ending?

No, it shouldn’t.
Only animate male are “smaczni”, all the rest are “smaczne”.

Is it just an oversight that "Ducks are delicious" is rejected? For some reason i can remember the meaning just fine but not Duolingo's favored English word there.
Well I'm vegan and I find this offensive. We're not Gods to decide whether an animal lives or die. Animals are not our food. They are sentient beings. They experience pain and love just like we do!
if you get offended by reading a sentence not even barely intending to hurt anyone, don't even try to go outside, stay safe in the perfect little pink room of yours

I don't know your motives or anyone else's for wanting to learn Polish. I can speculate that whatever the motives, you'll probably have a richer experience if you can understand those with whom you disagree, even disagree vehemently.
But they are so tasty! ;v Ok, I'm kidding, I respect your opinion...
PD: and they era healthy for us
PD: I'm kidding, I don't want to offend you...
