We are very fond of water birds. A stilted looking Mallard
duck, with three ducklings in tow have made their home around the
bows of the houseboat. They are really decoys of the plastic variety,
made in Norwich. Decoys are usually employed on back waters to
encourage water birds for wild fowling purposes. We are happy for
them to mill about for the peaceful purpose of promotional mascots to
entice visitors to purchase packets of water bird food, which is for
sale nearby.
Feeding
birds on the water gives visitors much pleasure. We have selected some nutritious and environmentally friendly food suitable for tame water birds, such as swans and ducks (as
opposed to feral pigeons).
