ANGELFIRE1 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 OK, so I expect plenty of sarcastic comments, but I keep hearing and reading that it is a really bad idea to feed ducks bread. Apparently it's extemely bad for their health, shortens their lives and pollutes the water. Some information e.g. http://www.liveducks.com/bread.html suggests that we shouldn't feed ducks artificially at all. I am more used to shooting and eating them, (and I am not posh) than feeding them bread. That said we have a duck pond close to home that has wild Mallard on it all of the time. My close neighbours feed them every day, mostly bread I would say by the look of it. These (wild/tame) Mallard have no problems in flying of that I am certain. My Earth dogs cannot catch them, off they go light lightening when the dogs get too near. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitisbad Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I wonder how it came about that we started feeding bread to ducks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikonuser Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I wonder why someone signed up just to make a post on such an obscure thread that is over 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
