I think everyone understands the actual question. After typing it in, I felt I could have worded it better, but Lusk had already responded, so I didn't want to edit it.

Just in case it changes your answer, I am not asking if you think that new ponds are populated by birds dropping fish in.

A rephrasing of the question is as follows:

Do you think it is possible that there is an existing species of bird that has an innate instinct to populate a new pond by transporting fish from an existing pond?

As an example, why do some dogs bury bones? Why does a squirrel gather nuts? Another example that we all exhibit is that when we see a new body of water, we can't help but want to put some fish in it. A kid does the same thing, and he does not
know why.

These are not exact analogies, but you get the picture.
