@why-animals-do-the-thing ducks on ice

Pfffft this is absolutely great. A solid (probably accidental) landing slide.

Ok so years ago when I was like 5 my Dad and I were in England, and it was winter. We were walking around the woods, and we came across a frozen pond with ducks on it. My Dad, not really thinking, scattered some seeds on the surface of the pond.

The ducks went nuts. 

They started skittering around like it was ducks on ice the musical. They were slamming into each other, feathers and feed went flying. I still remember the honks. 

After a while, it started to calm down, but the food was still there, and the ducks were hungry. So, a few brave and semi-coordinated souls slowly waddled out. They wanted that food. They landed on their feathery butts and slid past the seed patch, while stretching their necks to gobble down a few seeds. It was graceful in how pathetic it was. 

All the time my Dad was laughing so hard he was almost hacking up a lung.
