Feeding A Female Mallard

 

Female Mallard at Alton Towers

This is from last year when we went to Alton Towers. My daughter was trying to feed this female mallard. The ducks at Alton Towers are used to the humans!

  4. As you say, they are doubtless well habituated to humans bringing food.

  9. Even after living here for close to 40 years, I'm still surprised by the fact that we have many times more geese (Canada Geese) than ducks. Had a noisy formation fly over the house this morning. I love ducks, though. I had a pet duck when I was a kid.

  13. They are nice ducks and always open to a titbit or two at our local pond. Hopefully they get a good balanced diet at Alton Park?!
    Have a lovely week
