What's a duck's favourite food?
Lettuce, kale or fluffy white bread: what do ducks really want to be eating?
Ecologist Phillipa Baron from the Canal and River Trust says that like other hipsters across the country, kale is actually a duck's preferred food.
She said that although 7 million people in the country feed them bread, it's actually "junk food" for ducks and they need more natural food.
She said the discovery that ducks prefer kale is a "real surprise" but that they also enjoy pea shoots and rocket.
