I get it!
Sorry that I didn't understand that these were feral ducks at the beginning of the thread.
Kinda surprised that the HOA hasn't contacted Fish and Game. Of course, I'd rather that they didn't.
After all, the feral pythons have to eat something? (JK!)
Key word was 'HOPEFULLY'
You don't need to lecture me on the reality of bird keeping, and my flock is not a buffet for predators.
They found a way to eat before I was keeping ducks, and they can continue on that way, or they can answer to The Shepherd.
