He glitched

I'm kinda confused because I keep seeing people posting photos of birds at local parks with ponds or lakes like I did. I'm wondering if that's against the rules as it says an entry is a photo of your domestic waterfowl on water, doesn't ones at local parks count or not.

The rules say the birds must be yours. Not the local park's.
