Great story. We had a trio of Mallards that visited for a few weeks. I put out water for them and some bread (all I could think of). and they would take it and dump in the water, then gobble it up. Pretty smart for ducks I thought

Funny it was two drakes and a hen. I figure one drake wasn't good enough. The hen used to bang (peck?) at the screen door to let us know she wanted something to eat & drink.

Then they would lay around our front lawn till they wanted more. Next door neighbor came to ask where we bought our lawn ornaments. I told her they were real ducks. She couldn't seem to figure that out.

After awhile the hen would fly on our outdoor window sill and look into our living room.
It was really funny but, if we got close to the window(from inside) she would fly off. I didn't know then that the males hissed and the female quacked.

Really enjoyed having them around. Next year we had visitors again one drake and one very hefty hen. I don't know if it was the same hen or not but, it did fly on the window sill and look into the house. They only hung around our house and front yard, for a short time and then took off.

Great story diva!

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us
The wild ducks around here give my ducks a wide berth, but the wild turkey's visit frequently. They don't let me get too close though. Had some local girls trying to entice my boys into defecting, but they're fond of their twice a day feedings.
