I love watching the ducks! There are often a few on my pond, and they are quite entertaining!

I've seen your feathered visitors. They are so cute. I like how they always beg for food. I think they are capable to eat as much as they're fed. 😂
Thanks, Roxy! I can't even imagine how much food they must have to eat in order to stay warm when the temperatures get this cold. Their metabolism must be crazy!
As far as I remember from school, these water birds have huge amounts of fat, including on their feathers. They do not feel cold as we do. However you are right, they have a fast metabolism which require a lot of food. 🙂
