Environmental concerns from feeding bread to ducks
The BBC reports on the perils of feeding bread to ducks. Wildfowl don't respond well to high bread diets, however the problems are far wider, with uneaten and undigested bread attracting bacteria into the local environment.
Here at Duck Density, we acknowledge that bread can be used as 'Duck Encouragement' to obtain photographs of high duck density, as usually the ducks flock towards the food, however this should be done sparingly to prevent excessive bread being left in the area.
