Begging Ducks

It is so hard to resist ducks begging for attention, it would seem to be a good idea to provide them bread and crackers in order to make them happy and healthy. I grew up with great memories of feeding ducks with bread and crackers at El Dorado Park in Long Beach. Instead of feeding them at El Dorado Park, I drove to a nearby park where Dylan and Ryan could feed the begging ducks that were searching around for food.

This time, both Dylan and Ryan were assertive by providing them the bread. Dylan was kind enough to share the bread with his brother, Ryan. While we were there, one of the geese was brave enough to walk up toward to Ryan because they were about the same height.

After we ran out of bread, we took our time to observe the ducks. Dylan thought it was boring to be a duck because they don't have too much fun like we do. Who can we argue with Dylan's point of view?

Once we returned home, I later learned it is critical NOT to feed them the nutritions such as bread, crackers, corn, carrots and green because it could lead them having health complications. Gulp! Needless to say, I felt so guilty for feeding them the worst nutrition: bread. It was suggested to give them a waterfowl diet from a Pet Store. The next time, we would be guilty-free!
