Duck food, where?

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"

Thanks for that Blackbeard. I know you're not suppose to give them bread, now I know what I can give them cheers

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.

Frozen peas that have been defrosted - what about just fresh peas? No good?

It's a well known fact in Yorkshire that "ducks will ate up t'worms".

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..
