I have a theory that on some planet in the vast universe a being of multiple cells like this lives. Like flocking birds it moves as one being. One mind and many bodies. It's a big universe and the possibilities are unlimited.

I thought that might be what the lead fish was after, so I looked it up. Fish don't eat duck poop, but "some fish may feed on the organic matter stirred up by ducks in the water." It could be the the fish are following the duck as it churns up their dinner.

Andrew @taguestans.bsky.social

it looks like it's in an area that people frequent. my guess is that the goldfish (and duck) get food thrown to them. the duck has eyes above the water and therefore knows where the feeding is taking place. i bet those fish follow ducks around all day everyday.
