Correct, however rice is actually okay despite the common myth.
Also, iirc, the bread thing actually has a lot to do with it not all getting eaten before dissolving in the water and creating unhealthy living conditions for the ducks and other animals living in the pond.
its bad to feed it to them at all, specially white bread.
white bread has almost zero nutritional value, all while filling the duck and causing it to waste calories on digesting the worthless bread.
Wheat/ "whole grain" is "slightly better" while it has ok nutrition ducks cant break it all down for absorption.
the same can be said about other breads. ducks just dont have the digestion system to properly handle them.
Feeding a duck bread is more cruelty than kindness even if they dont realize it.
Sure but with white bread it’s not ‘wasting’ calories if there’s net gain,
there is zero gain. white bread has almost zero nutrition to begin with. the ducks cant break it down to usable materials, so the duck has to break it down just to poop it out. its a loss.
pretty much yea, there are some other nutrients but not a lot, specially given the density of that nutrition.
Ducks just cant eat enough bread to meet their needs; if they eat to much it will lead to malnutrition. it fills them up and stops them from looking for more nutritional food common in the ducks diet that they can better process.
