I find it extremely endearing (in a hopefully non patronising way) that you could see some rats rummaging through bins and consider it adorable

You should buy a pea shooter from a 1950s toy shop, then use it to fire the frozen peas at them that you were going to feed to the ducks.

With a bit of skill I could angle it so they’d bounce off their thick heads and go in the lake to defrost and be devoured by ducklings.

Would appreciate an answer on this btw guys

How do you know that they haven’t got very warm beaks that can melt them really quickly? Or maybe they like them crunchy?

An adult duck can handle a bit of bread, but small ducklings basically need to eat non-stop good stuff just to survive another night. They can’t afford to be caked up.

Aww that’s a lovely photo spread :grinning: It’s been years since I’ve had a proper shuffle around there but it looked proper lush (as in verdant, it was quite peng too though), especially considering how dry it’s been. Those park wardens do a bang up job.
