I don't know who came up with idea that bread is bad for ducks but it ruined one fishing spot for me. There was a place where people were feeding bread to sucks and fly fishing there was awesome. Carps, chubs, crucians, rudds and roaches, even nases! All on dry flies. Then someone put out sign that bread harms ducks so people stopped feeding them and after a while all fish just disappeared.
This is beautiful.
We used to feed the ducks at the lake in the park.
We bought poultry food at the local tack and feed store.
There were dozens of them. When they got spooked and all started flying, the breeze was notable.
Park eventually put in a sign to stop feeding them and took out the benches.

several reasons why its bad.
- Bread doesn't have much nutritional value (especially the kind of white "bread" that is common in the US for example)
- It fills up their stomach fast so they don't forage for foods they would naturally eat
- Throwing bread at one place can lead to overcrowding (which is what happened in your great fishing spot) which stresses the animals
- They also shit a lot in one place, which leads to a bunch of problems
- Uneaten bread causes algae growth which leads to diseases and pests
best to feed them peas like in this neat app or I also heard that cut up frozen grapes are a good choice.
Its still bad for them.
that was fun thanks
I love it. However i would love to walk around the pool and the ducks seem to stay with me a lot. But minor issues :)
i confirm this is very high quality
This is freaking awesome
