Good Morning

Somebody gave me a few hundred crocus corms. I'd like to plant them
in the lawn where our ducks lounge, but I'm pretty sure they'd just
eat the flowers.

Would the ducks eat the crocuses? Would any harm come to them if
they did?
Thanks

I have always found pheasants LOVE them -- they snap the heads off, maybe
for the saffron like substances?
That has happened in several different locations.
Ducks had squashed them but not eaten them -- but thats just only our
experience
