This process of improving our knowledge is called learning.

 

Bread is not very nutritious for ducks, and if they come to rely on it then they can become malnourished and diseased. It's "junk food".

 

Also, bread attracts rats and pollutes the water. When it's left uneaten it causes algal blooms and encourages the spread of bacteria. Algae can deprive water of oxygen (it grows quickly and dies off quickly and decays, which uses oxygen), which will kill fish and have a knock on effect on other animals. Some algae is specifically toxic.

 

If you like ducks, feed them something that's good for them and that won't damage the environment. It's not that difficult.

:loopy:So we take the kids to the park,they ask if they can feed he ducks,do we grab the spare 1/2 loaf of bread out of the cupboard or do hold the kids up whilst we cut grapes in half,or try finding the following

Cracked corn, barley, oats, birdseed or other grains

Frozen peas that have been defrosted

 

Its a no brainer.

Well, indeed. But why not try explaining to your kids that ducks need healthy food too. Or you can carry on polluting the environment and making the ducks sick. It's your call.

Or next time you go shopping, pick up a bag of bird seed. Then when you take the kids to the park you just grab the bag of seed from the cupboard.

It's actually very, very simple.
