Yes, it is generally okay to provide water and food for a brooding mallard. Access to clean water is essential for the mother to drink and help keep her feathers clean, while nutritious food supports her health during the brooding period. However, it's important to minimize disturbance and ensure that any food provided is appropriate for ducks, such as commercial waterfowl feed or grains. Always prioritize the natural behavior and habitat of the mallard.
