Yes, Birds can cover MANY miles each and every day. When they stop to feed, drink or bathe they pad around in water. Most often nothing sticks to the birds, but there are the times that eggs and materials stick on their feet and legs. This most often happens with ducks and their webbed feet.

ponds are man-made therefore only man can place fish in ponds - however amphibians such as frogs and newts may walk/crawl/hop to ponds and start breeding there. It could be that you saw a tadpole in a pond, and thought it was a fish, but it could also be that a person may have stocked the pond with fish.....another possible theory is that maybe fish eggs can make their way into a pond via bird poop as you say - but the only problem with that is that i dont think the fish eggs would stay alive through the bird digestive system, and the fish eggs would need to be uncubated in some way, so they would die....So in conclusion, ponds dont stock fish naturally, as ponds are man-made. The End.

The local authorities set up a delivery of fish from the fish hatchery. Most lakes and ponds are stocked by the State fish and game departments You can go to your state fish and game department website and find out what locations were stocked and approximately when. Private lakes and pond owners will do the same acquiring their fish from sometimes the same resource.

The idea is not bird poop but fish eggs can travel stuck to bird legs, of course depends on travel time if they survive

I would say usually people, Unless the pond was formed from a river that overflowed.
