I don’t think they ever had been fed anything other than bread. They had no idea that i was offering them food. I’ve also never seen anyone feed them something healthy. Honestly, i think most people here have no idea whatsoever that bread is unhealthy and also disrupts the peace and quiet of female ducks; a study showed that ducks were fed so much bread that the males had basically all day to chase females around.

When i learned about bread years ago, i went outside with all the peas and goodies i could find. The ducks approached me, waiting for some bread. I gave them peas and they did not understand what it was and refused to even inspect it. It ended with me giving up, laying it on the ground and retreating. And even then, they did not bother to check…

I don’t know why you got downvoted, i completely agree with you. They really love fresh food and fresh water (those water fountains), it’s just their nature. It’s not that they are spoiled. Dogs for instance will also eat from a carcass, but wild felines only eat fresh

They don’t need to say that; they will just sit on your papers or laptop, or stand right in front of the tv

The three phrases of kitties:

Let me in!

Let me out!

Give me fresh food, even though my bowl is still pretty full

Thank you!

Thank you, i might try it out, but usually i prefer to start out with open source apps and Tusky seemed to get much praise. Haven’t tried others just yet, but probably will at some point.

Thank you so much for your reply and the link. In my profile i see followed hashtags, but not ‘following’. I see blocked users, blocked domains, pinned posts and more, but nowhere what i am following. Oh, wait, found it! It is tucked away in Preferences–>Follows and followers That’s a lot of work to get there… In mobile, i downloaded Tusky, but haven’t used it yet.

Yes, i (only) read the headline about the new mastodon, but hadn’t joined there yet, so scrolled past it… Again, thanks for helping this newbie out!
