Thread: Killing Time

guys
a few years ago one of the units i was in at the hospital was host to a mob of "dulux" mallards whom our caterer and yours truly used to feed bread too.they came in all colours&hues of the spectrum. It was also memorable for a wee "orange":hen who was minus one leg.her protector was a big mallard drake ,a real brute &bully ,who didnt hesitate to ensure she got he allocated rations of bread.
From outings with residents ive also seen mobs like this on the Avon ,by the Hagley Park tennis courts ,and out at the groynes picnic area .this mob are even more fascinating in that there are assorted domesticated ducks in their midst too. BTW-which large duck is black&white ???rohans-cause theres at least 5 of those last time i saw them.
id always presumed this clour mutation was from cross breeding with domestic species.
