    For some reason this post caused me to search to see if there are types of birdseed which are not suitable for ducks. From a few minutes of reading, I’m relatively sure now that at least all common types of birdseed are fine for them. But, along the way, I found this LLM slop https://plantnative.org/can-ducks-eat-bird-seed.htm (URL rendered unclickable since it is spam) which strongly implies that ducks are not in fact birds:

    • “Yes, ducks do eat bird seed. Although bird seeds are specifically prepared to meet the nutrient demand of birds. But still, bird seed can be served as a snack to ducks in limited amounts.”
    • “Bird seeds are loaded with nutrients and can be beneficial for ducks the way they are for birds.”

      Me at the market looking up if this specific brand of bird seed is bad for ducks while the crow next to me is dipping a cheeto in a puddle of engine oil

        The crow was probably just a witches’ familiar and thus was able to use magic to transmute the oily cheeto into actual food
