Hello fellow bird lovers. Today I want to share images of this little friend that came to me in the park, I have always found these ducks very beautiful, here in Europe they are very common but in my country Venezuela, I think I never saw them, at least not that I remember.
Something curious I heard about this little animal, which by the way its common name is mallard duck, in a National Geographic documentary, is that they can sleep with one eye open, and this because they sleep with one side of the brain while the other is awake! Crazy right?
Imagine if we could do the same? I think we would get rid of many traffic accidents! 😄
This little guy approached me with curiosity, at first I thought he was going to attack me, I have already been attacked by other ducks, 🤣 but this one, I think he was waiting for me to give him food, although it is forbidden to feed them I have seen people throwing food into the pond.
When he realized he wasn't going to get any food from me, he made a face at me and went off to swim with his buddies! 😆
Usually they are always in this pond in the park, these days the water has been very dirty, but I have seen that in other places they are already doing maintenance to the fountains and ponds, I hope to have better pictures of this pond in a next opportunity.
My native language is Spanish, I apologize for any errors in translation.
