One rather large aquatic bird that has figured out the correct way of walking on ice is the penguin!  Here are a few tips to minimize your risk of a fall:

• Keep your weight forward and on your front foot.
• Keep your arms out by your side to help you balance
• Walk flat footed and take short shuffling steps
• Wear footwear that provides traction
• Step down, not out from curbs
• Keep your knees slightly bent
• Walk on snow or grass if possible

The next time you are walking on ice, just remember these tips and walk like a penguin!
