Hey,
So recently a group of ducks have moved in to my town house complex, we don't have a pond or anything of the sort and no one seems to know where they came from and why. There are 3 ducks that will come to my back door to ask for food and I've been feeding them. For the first few days I fed them bread, but figured it can't be good for them so switched to frozen peas (defrosted) for a little while. Today with their peas I gave them cooked hapa (mixed brown and white) rice (that I had put in water afterward and drained so it wasn't sticky) and a little bit of quick oats, they seemed to really enjoy it. What else can I feed them that would be around my house, I don't want to have to go to buy duck feed or anything like that. What sort of vegetables and fruits are good for them? I know they can find food on their own but this isn't exactly a normal duck habitat and they seem to want to be semi domestic (aka want me to feed them) I don't want to make them sick or unhealthy so please help me out here.
I also keep a bowl of water on my back step for them to drink
Thanks in advance
These are two of the ducks if the type matters:
