Our pair of visiting mallards is so cute. The male follows the female around the yard like a lost puppy and sits patiently while she nibbles.

But then….

Two rival males arrived.
.
.
He chased them, he flew at them, he put his head down and charged them but nothing worked.
.
.
They just kept moving closer.

Right after I took this picture he went full ninja duck on their ass and finally drove them off. The Mrs? She was not impressed and simply kept eating.

LOL! That second picture had me thinking they had switchblades tucked up under their wings and were seriously about to throw down.
