(People-English translation: It’s quackin’ cold out here today, but there are people-beasts around, and sometimes they bring bread crumbs for us to eat. So we go. Not that it’s the best duck food around, in fact, some of the people say that the bread is not good for us. But the seagulls will settle for french fries, and we will take what we can get, too.)

(People-English translation: There is a joke here that involves both “A flock of ducks fly into a bar” and “getting all of their ducks in a row.” Sadly, it doesn’t really translate into English well, so it’s our loss.)
