Varied diet

So far this week I’ve seen the swans and ducks eating bread, flat bread, peas, Bombay mix and rice but today was the first time I’ve seen them eating muffins.
I know most of these foods are bad for them but they sure look healthy enough on it.
You know she's enjoying this

They're all flocking around her. They must be hungry.

Excellent photo! After taking my children to feed bread to the ducks for years and years, I learned it wasn't good for them. I wonder what I should have fed them?

Wonderful capture and scene, the lady seems to be taking photos too ;-)

Oh dear! They are greedy things and will eat anything, but shouldn't!

Exactly, you know they shouldn't eat rubbish but I just love to see someone feeding birds

This reminds me of the birdwoman featured in Mary Poppins
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds", that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies"
By Richard M. Sherman / Robert B. Sherman

Reminds me of the old lady in My Fair Lady (I think) who was always in the park feeding pigeons. Lovely shot. The orange bag is very eye-catching.

The ducks sure do look happy and healthy in spite of the varied human diet. They probably get enough normal food naturally so that these human treats are just that - treats, not their entire eating plan.

Word must have got around there was some treats on offer

A lovely shot that transforms an everyday event into something rather special - fav!
