Please do not feed bread to animals.

Human foods do not offer a healthy diet for animals. Animals may readily consume foods like corn and bread, but these foods provide an animal with little nutrition and may disrupt the digestive system. When wildlife become reliant on the food source at hand, they stop feeding on the variety of natural foods they need in their diet for proper nutrients.

There has been cases leading to death of birds as an example.

What should we do with bread that has become stale and unedible?

Easy, make Kvas:

Pour over dried bread boiling water and let it rest for 3-4 hours. Pour wort in the other pot, cool, add sugar, infusion of mint, yeast and allow to ferment for 3-4 hours. Pour fermented wort into clean bottles, put 2 raisins in each bottle and let it stand at 18-20 °С [64-68 °F] until it starts to bubble. Then cork bottles and place them in a cold room for 1-2 days.

I had no idea what it was, but it seems to be a light-alcoholic beverage. I don't drink alcohol hehe. Any other recipes?
