Blackbeard Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A guide to what to feed them is here, just use your imagination but not bread. "Wild ducks and waterfowl can live longer, healthier lives by relying on natural food sources such as aquatic plants, seeds, grasses and insects rather than taking handouts from well-meaning humans. If you still want to feed the ducks – and doing so can be an enchanting experience – there are many healthier alternatives to offer them instead of bread. Great foods to feed ducks include: Grapes cut in half Cracked corn, barley, oats, birdseed or other grains Frozen peas that have been defrosted Duck feed pellets available from farm supply stores" http://birding.about.com/od/birdfeeders/a/feedingducksbread.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattheww1991 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 When we go to Rother Valley etc we nip in poundland for a few bags of bird seed. They go mad for it and it's much better for them than bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernboy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Frozen peas that have been defrosted - what about just fresh peas? No good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBrosLover Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 we have been feeding ducks bread for donkeys years ,so why now is it a problem???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggs Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 We were thinking the world was flat for donkeys years too, why did it suddenly become a problem? Historical ignorance should not be used to discourage education.. Wild Things Swan and Duck Food used to be available from Pets at Home, also South Yorkshire Animal Rescue also used to get it in, to order (on South Road Walkley, next to Asda) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
