Daddy cooked (grilled) 3 species of ducks last night: a green-winged teal, a northern shoveler, and a mallard. Ava was a big fan of both shoveler and teal (and asparagus) during dinner last night (we haven't eaten the mallard yet).

Daddy ground up some shoveler for Ava.
The yellow rubber duckie was the fourth duck "species" with which Ava interacted last night:
