Feed the ducks

Come feed the little birds,
Show them you care.
And you'll be glad if you do.
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare.
All it takes is tuppence from you.
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
— Mary Poppins.

Avondale Lake

***************
▶ The birds in the water are a mother mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and her ducklings. On land, the larger, braver bird, feeding to the right, is a Moscovy duck (Cairina moschata), native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Small wild and feral breeding populations have also established themselves in the United States.
