I've a bunch of them, they are quite social and tend to hang about. But yes, their insistence on food is indeed as you described. My kids enjoy making the big drakes take off down to the ponds, as their flapping makes a big "wup wup wup" noise and kick up dust and leaves in a somewhat impressive manner.
