Three Mallard ducks have taken up residence in the park across the street from our front door. They are quite friendly and willing to come very close to humans so we decided to feed them for the first time a few days ago. Allison was so excited about it that it has now become a 3 times/ day activity! Hewie, Dewie, and Louise know a meal ticket when they see it so they have been hanging out pretty close to our home ever since. I can't take the credit for their cute monikers- Matthew came up with them, but I think they're perfect. Hewie is the boy with the busted feather that sticks out funny, Dewie is the other boy, and Louise is obviously the girl of the bunch. We haven't quite figured out their family dynamic yet, but I'm leaning towards a ducky love triangle. They all seem to get along well and they absolutely delight Ally so I'm happy to keep dishing out the bread & cheerios.
Here are some pictures of our new friends- please pretend not to notice that our front yard is a weed ridden dust bowl!
