Kat asked me to post stuff about feeding ducks so here it is. we
stopped feeding our local ducks bread cause of reading this, but they
are in hog heaven at the moment cause we have had lots of amazing
rains and the world here is incredibly lush so i figure they are good
for now, anyway.
the other day i had to stop the car on the street a block from the
park cause three ducks were meandering up on the street. it was like
the book 'make room for ducklings.' i finally had to get out of the
car and shoo them over to a yard. silly ducks.

Contrary to popular belief, bread and crackers are a dangerous food
for ducks - occasional feeding of this is so-so, but your duck will
suffer malnutrition if proper feeding is ignored. Chocolate is NOT
safe for ducks and dogs. Avoid nuts and seeds. Duck have a different
digestive system than most other birds and can't handle many of the
same foods that are safe for some birds.
