...bread.[rant] Why the **** would you? Is it an appropriate food for aquatic birds? NO IT SMEGGING ISN'T. Seeing as humans needed to master fire before fashioning simple bread - don't you think it's a bit of a ****ing evolutionary shortcut for them to be eating sh1tty hovis thick? I can see you out of the window, and I know who you are. I'm gonna invest in a pea shooter at lunchtime, you have been warned.[/rant]
Is feeding the ducks similar to waxing the dolphin?
You shouldn't feed ducks with peas either so be sure to pick up all that miss their targets.

And is that similar to ****ing an octopus?
The ducks seem to like it well enough. I doubt it does them any real harm.
I haven't killed off the damn swans with it yet, more's the shame.
I can think of far worse things to worry about tbh.

I really think you need to find a hobby.
Harry - if you want to wax the dolphin in the canal, you go for it. I hear swans can break an arm (like a babies arm) though, so please exercise caution.
feeding bloody chips to seagulls pisses me off.
A neighbour puts bread out for the seagulls here - they shit all over my car and washing but its ok cos he's old apparently.

Isn't it obvious - I've just found one.

I meant one that doesn't involve curtain twitching and covert pea shooting 😉
If you insist though, just be mindful of ‘friendly fire’ duck casualties.
Certainly you do seem to have opposing evidence for this. On the one side you have sites like this:

saying it's the end of the world, ducks will all get fat and die. But ducks THRIVE and overpopulate one of my old local lakes, they had to ask people to stop feeding them because too many were coming/staying etc so is it that bad for them? I'd probably err on the side of thepeople who spend all day looking after them, but it seems counter-intuitive given the fact that you don't see dozens of fat, dead ducks in the local pond.
... try marinating the bread in anti-freeze I've heard they love it 😯damn swans
The RSPB do say they would rather folk fed them proper bird seed, as bread doesn't have the right nutrients, but that's not really practical for most folk and the ducks on my local pond have plenty of natural food around to supply nutrients.
Finding amusing pictures of overweight ducks would be a lot simpler if it wasn't for Heston bloody Blumenthal.

Cheers for this, I'd forgotten I've still got a couple of duck breasts in the fridge.
If ducks can't be arsed to find their own birdseed they can have my stale bread and like it, frankly.
It's time ducks talked less about their rights and more about their responsibilities. Ungrateful web-footed bastards.
Ducks are great scavengers, just watch them they'll try anything they find lying around.

Yes, you can often see them circling around in the air above road kill waiting for the hyenas to leave. 😆
They're not waiting for them to leave, they're waiting to strike.

This one eats flesh.
The ducks around the Derwent Reservoir like cornish pasties. 😐

They were surrounding us, pulling at our sleeves and shorts. I had actually bought a bag of duck feed, but we were trying to eat first before feeding the ducks. Bad idea...
A seagull grabbed the entire fish off my tray of chips at Bridlington the other week.
[pedant]There's no such thing as a seagull. There are such things as gulls; black headed, herring, black backed, great black backed etc. but not sea[/pedant]
Anyway they're all big, loud, greedy, messy ****s.
never mind the ducks, its them flippin sea gulls, comin over here stealing or chips, deport the lot of em!!
Bloody do-gooders telling the ducks what [i]they[/i] want to eat 👿

i'm often surprised at how animals have come to happily gobble up bit of bread and other such human offerings.
why do fish love bread? why do fish like hemp seeds? or chick peas? how did fish work it out that such things are edible?
I think you're not supposed to feed white bread to Canadian Geese as it can make their wings go funny.

Is the right answer.
Couldn't let it pass...
