I like the simulation. They do 'dabbling' and 'picking insects' but they dont ever seem to do 'ducking' (tail up, head underwater).
Ducks are named after 'ducking' ... or possibly, 'ducking' is named after Ducks.
edit: also please remove hard ceiling of 120 peas. I want to throw more peas

A while back I played around with the clanker and got it to build a fully synthesized woodcock peent as a standalone html file.
That then became embedded as an easter egg into some other software.
Ducks were too hard for it though, unfortunately.
Lately, I again threw a clanker at something like that and got it to recreate some MGS codec sound effects.

i suppose this is an environment noise generator, with duck calls just being recordings. i wish you could control ducks individually, after i threw peas they just hang out near mic forever

Really love this. Very relaxing to listen to this in the background.

I don't know who came up with idea that bread is bad for ducks but it ruined one fishing spot for me. There was a place where people were feeding bread to sucks and fly fishing there was awesome. Carps, chubs, crucians, rudds and roaches, even nases! All on dry flies. Then someone put out sign that bread harms ducks so people stopped feeding them and after a while all fish just disappeared.

several reasons why its bad.
- Bread doesn't have much nutritional value (especially the kind of white "bread" that is common in the US for example)
- It fills up their stomach fast so they don't forage for foods they would naturally eat
- Throwing bread at one place can lead to overcrowding (which is what happened in your great fishing spot) which stresses the animals
- They also shit a lot in one place, which leads to a bunch of problems
- Uneaten bread causes algae growth which leads to diseases and pests
best to feed them peas like in this neat app or I also heard that cut up frozen grapes are a good choice.

You can buy wild birds seeds from your local pet store and feed them.

This is beautiful.
We used to feed the ducks at the lake in the park.
We bought poultry food at the local tack and feed store.
There were dozens of them. When they got spooked and all started flying, the breeze was notable.
Park eventually put in a sign to stop feeding them and took out the benches.

I love it. However i would love to walk around the pool and the ducks seem to stay with me a lot. But minor issues :)

One of my new hobbies is feeding the ducks by the river every other day. One time they were a bit far and there was a steep slope between me and the ducks, I threw some of the seeds and went back to sit on the bench, pulled my phone and got distracted, few minutes later and there was almost 100 ducks surrounding me and staring waiting for food, I have no idea from where they came from! After they got fed they all went to sleep.
