do animals prefer you?

I find the same, I seem to get on with animals better than humans, they seem to understand me better and I understand them

Ducks, swans and geese in particular. Swans even let me handfeed their cygnets sometimes like they trust me and ducks come up to me and just eat out of my hand

I love ducks, they are such simple creatures, much nicer than people 

Indeed. The only metric by which animals can make a judgement regarding a human is how kind we are. It has taken humans to complicate and corrupt that
