Ducks Gone Wild at Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks

(Originally posted in 2012)

On a visit to Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks (one of our favorite local parks, next to the Thousand Oaks Library, Senior Center and Teen Center), a family was feeding the ducks.*  The sheer number of voracious ducks was both amusing and startling! But we survived.

*Of course, the public is requested not to feed the ducks as feeding them bread is not good for them.

We were having a calm, relaxing day at Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks, California yesterday when all of a sudden we heard a commotion at the duck pond. This flock of voracious ducks was thrashing about in floating room only quarters as a family of humans shared their lunch.

This reminded me of a previous experience observing Turtles Going Wild at the beautiful Alice Keck Memorial Gardens in Santa Barbara.

We stopped by Alice Keck Memorial Gardens yesterday and the kids really enjoyed watching the turtles. Then we look over and there are dozens of them having a party! Someone was feeding them. It was sure fun to watch this gathering. More on this peaceful (at least when my kids aren't around) park at http://www.conejovalleyguide.com/dosomethingblog/alice-keck-park-memorial-gar...
