OK, so Dunakin and others, including me, got Black Phoebes. But we got ducks–a pair of mallards that have returned, prolly because they know a soft touch when they see one. Mom looks preggies and dad watches carefully to ensure that she’s not molested. But bring out some food (we’re goin’ with butter crackers for now) and both male and female will almost eat out of your hand. Or eat your hand! I have photos but am too lazy to post ‘em (Hey, nothin’ to see here. They’re ducks!).
One real question: if one were to go to say, Pet Smart, what kind of food would one buy that’s suitable for ducks?
BTW, we live in a town and have a tiny lawn, so it’s not like we’re on a farm somewhere. But we are near a huge preserve, so the ducks must come from there–pretty much every year, though I don’t know if these are the same ones as before (I didn’t get their names).
