Have you ever fed some birds? I only did it once and never again cause I grew up with fowls in the Philippines. My grandparents had quails, chickens, ducks and geese back then. I love them except for the geese, the Philippine geese stink a lot and it looks a bit similar to that of the female duck here compared to the common white duck we have. We never fed them bread only grains or seeds but never bread.
Until now, I can't understand why ducks and seagulls fight for the bread when they're being given a lot but I guess its just their animal instinct. This feeding frenzy was actually their second batch. When I first saw them they were being fed by a couple with a baby in a walker, probably just showing the baby them damn ducks and gulls.
They got a load of bread from the couple cause I saw a plastic of bread on each of them. It was probably just half an hour later or less when a woman who just picked up her son in the day care nearby threw them half a loaf of bread when I saw this happen.
That female duck he's pecking is actually his mate. I'd be damned if my husband peck me over some piece of bread. Well .. they're animals so she's tolerated him I suppose.
I just thought, why on earth does he have to peck on her instead of just share the food like emperor penguins do and lose the bread to another female as you see on the thumbnail above.
I just realized them damn fowls are f...in' greedy! They look so damn innocent you'd like feeding them and watch them looking so tame till you see their real colors. Such opportunists! Like bears in sheep's clothing! Yes bears! Why? They're worse than wolves they look so cute you'd want to cuddle one. That innocent looking!
By the way .. what ya' say greedy duck ... ?
Quack!?..
... Ain't karma such a bitch?!..(wink, wink)
