Its rewarding having contact with wild animals. We get a pair of Malard ducks that come back every year to eat food from below our bird feeder and splash around in the standing water in our back yard they let me get within 10 ft especially if dumping some extra seed on the ground for them. Lately a crow has come by and I fed it not hand to mouth but threw some food out in the back yard. It (assume it is a male) has brought its mate once to share the food but would not let her get the food he flew down picked it up and flew up into the big pine before sharing.
