Sublime and Beautiful Sunday

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

Good Morning all, for todays post I am sharing some shots from a recent walk by the pond in Buttonwood Park, spring is sure in the air ( trust me my sinuses are telling me so LOL) and the focus for todays photos is on Ducklings and goslings in or by the pond

Starting with a family outing

NOw I often see people feeding the birds at the pond, and when its with bread I get a little annoyed and why is that you may ask

In areas where ducks are regularly fed bread the ducklings will not receive adequate nutrition for proper growth and development. it can also lead to Overcrowding — Where food is easy to come by, ducks and other waterfowl will lay more eggs and the pond or lake will become overcrowded.

Instead consider these things to feed them cracked corn, oats, rice, birdseed, frozen peas, chopped lettuce, or sliced grapes. These foods are similar to natural foods ducks will forage for on their own,but do not over feed them, if to much food is left it decays in the water and can cause other issues

and another family but this time out for a walk, I gave them plenty of space didnt want to get to close and have a goose chasing me

Fabulous little family, feeding lettuce or food that builds their bones correctly is a way to assist the wildlife, bread is not really the right food at all.

Brilliant photography once again, love seeing ducklings always.

Having a duck when young it was something explained, not many realize their kindness is actually cruel.

I love the park walks and those fuzzy little babies. Ducklings, signets and goslings are everywhere in my small town with the muddy lake in the middle of town. I may have to take a #wednesdaywalk and share those soon.

Today, however will most likely be spent close to home working in the yard as I do on sublime and beautiful Sundays.

Oh! Beautiful photos.

I hope more people will realize the consequences of irresponsible feeding. You will not believe, I have seen people feed chiz balls to sea gulls! like, why?! I almost kind of wish that the authorities will be a lot stricter about it, especially that those birds are just passing by the region during their migration. :(

Very cute ducks. Unfortunately, yes, they are not properly fed. You can't feed these ducks bread. In my city, in the parks where they are, employees have installed signs describing how to feed the ducks. But after that, people began to feed less often, but correctly. The photos are very wonderful👍 It's so cute with little ducklings.
