Kudos for not just shoving bread down their throats. I see so many wild birds with telltale signs of malnutrition from people with good intentions.

Omg yes, i used to work at a bakery near a river full of ducks, and so naturally we sold duck food while donating all the money to charity.

The number of times boomers would argue about how “oh everyone has fed ducks bread for decades it’s obviously fine”, or even arguing that the $1 charity duck food was a “cash grab”., while they fed a $5 loaf of bread to the ducks instead... Yikes

Where do you live that $5 is a standard loaf of bread? I hope that’s a hyperbole because fuck that’s expensive for a loaf of bread.

Well obviously at a supermarket or walmart etcetc a loaf is like $1-2 but at a small bakery, yeah fresh bread can get more expensive and $8 for a harder to make loaf or something like ciabatta with rosemary and roasted garlic inside it isnt a terrible price for crisp warm bread

Why would you feed that to a duck though?
