#### 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! ๐Ÿ˜„ ![IMG_8452.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23u62syYdKT9Avy2DsgJDkkucnNoXiDRZ2bfNyp4zmUeLgQfLm429Sump1DtK821d4dMf.jpg) ------ #### 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, ๐Ÿคฃ 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. ------- ![IMG_8453.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23yJCYYByCyEXp71FoXG4Ci4D6Xk6fxYQfxNrZNCDop421Ps5fw9sLRk6db6rNqAR8H2q.jpg) #### 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! ๐Ÿ˜† ------ ![IMG_8445.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23x14xDdVhXS1tTmSf26Mi8TfRgizN9ENzhMiDtiowYmYb6AGsPYxeLGvUXrGP3ZZ3bos.jpg) #### 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. ----------- ![IMG_8447.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23uFMBfmuDJ5eonpbXTb5S19oLMUvCaTK37nc9EpzshZXUyuPKA2joGvjKc1j4bH2p4t2.jpg) ![IMG_8448.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23w2egKb5RE7siSofmtDpyu6hqKWYsDgCotieP5NAijPK6b18LT2zWqqV1qZwdRdtnUjp.jpg) ![IMG_8442.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mballesteros/23xAZgvBUiAXF7muC5y2qYcYmKy2dQDhYvRWhoeuPLsVTjGTinmTmyR9SobDPA6s2SL8m.jpg)
