Fearless Mary: The True Adventures of Mary Fields, American Stagecoach Driver (2019)

A little-known but fascinating and larger-than-life character, Mary Fields is one of the unsung, trailblazing African American women who helped settle the American West. A former slave, Fields became the first African American woman stagecoach driver in 1895, when, in her 60s, she beat out all the cowboys applying for the job by being the fastest to hitch a team of six horses. She won the dangerous and challenging job, and for many years traveled the badlands with her pet eagle, protecting the mail from outlaws and wild animals, never losing a single horse or package. Fields helped pave the way for other women and people of color to become stagecoach drivers and postal workers.

Sombra: *swallows them* what are they?

It’s bad for them

Bread can cause their crops to become impacted. This is only fixable with surgery which almost all ducks, being on a farm or in the wild, don’t get.

It’s also just junk food, fills them up with no nutritional value. This leads to malnutrition, which can cause a disorder called angel wing

This goose’s flight feathers are destroyed, leaving it open to predators, and preventing them from migrating.

Please don’t feed ducks bread.

Instead feed them something yummy and good for them! Like watermelon, peas, or halved grapes.
