Safe plants for Ducks

[LauraSBale]

I'm going to be getting my ducks soon, and were getting there yard ready,
I would like to plant some plants in there for them when i'm not able to let them roam are yard.

what is safe to plant in there,
I was looking at some ornamental grass and other flowering plants. so they just dont have grass,

I'm really new to ducks too, mine are only about 1 week but really enjoy clover and dandelions from the yard and lettuce from our garden. Does anyone know if lambsquarter weeds are o.k.? Are there any obvious no-no's?

I looked this up and found they like the following:

Common cat-tail Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail). This typical marsh perennial can form dense stands. Its aggressive growth will need some manaagement.

Yellow fruit Sedge Carex annectens (yellowfruit sedge)

Broomsedge Bluestem Andropogon virginicus (broomsedge bluestem)

Swamp Sunflower Helianthus angustifolius (swamp sunflower)

Crimson-eyed rose-mallow Hibiscus moscheutos (crimsoneyed rosemallow)

Cardinalflower Lobelia cardinalis (cardinalflower)

I just purchased some monkey grass for my duck enclosure. White clover is being planted as well. I was told rye perennial grass is great for them as well.
