what is best alternative to feed ducks?
We feed six million loaves of bread a year to ducks in England and Wales causing damage to birdsâ health and polluting waterways. Oats, corn and peas are safer for the birds. Bread is starchy duck âjunk foodâ that can clogg up water, potentially damaging the environment and the birds Photograph: Blickwinkel/Alamy.
Although many ducks love foods like corn, carrots, and greens, these foods do not meet all of your ducksâ nutritional needs, and should compromise no more than 5-10 per cent of the diet. Allowing your duck to graze in your yard is fine providing that your yard is pesticide-free.
