Oh man, ducks are so cool!
I think they're awesome. Especially when they have a whole family. At my old house in NZ, there were some mallards that would come to our place every year - we could tell them apart because one of them had a very distinctive mark on it's beak, and the others seemed to be the same based on pictures from previous years although it's difficult to say for sure - I imagine they might have been part of a larger group or something and the guy just brought his partner and a another couple each time (there were always the four of them). They started coming there at a youngish age, and got fatter over the years as we fed them bread constantly. There were always ducklings around as well. We named the main duck Peter and the others were given names of Anne, Sam and Susan (even if they might have been different each time, Peter was clearly the same duck).
Ducklings are adorable. The mum duck didn't seem to mind when we picked up the ducklings although we didn't do it too often, maybe once or twice a year. I don't know why our cats didn't eat them or something, the adult ducks must have been very good at keeping guard against the more obvious predators.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

I used to love feeding ducks as a youngster. Ducks are a'ight, but yeah man, if you piss them off they try to rip your face off.
Or maybe that's just in Aus.
That's like everything down there, mate. I bet the flowers will try something if you look at them funny.
