Every winter I make sure that any stale bread we have in the house will not go to waste but be given to ducks, pigeons, and water-chicken. Food source is a scarcity for these poor birds during this season luckilyand , there are people who care enough to bring them bread- from those old ladies and men I learned to do this.

It’s actually fun feeding them. From a distance they can see you coming. Tentatively they will advance a bit towards where you’re standing… looking, feeling and waiting for the next thing that’s going to happen. If they see you take out a bag (no matter what’s in it) they will race like mad to get to you! Well, they couldn’t ‘race’ to me this morning because of the thick snow but nevertheless they got their pieces of bread from me. It was also a fantastic photo opportunity for me!
