Junk food is bad for ducks 😥

Junk food and Ducks

When you’re out and about at a lake, please remember that bread, chips, crisps, confectionery and other such junk food is bad for ducks

Even though they may find it tasty, it offers little to no nutritional benefit to the ducks. It can also cause a deformity known as “angel wing” where the last joint on the wing can distort and causes the end feathers to stick out sideways instead of lying flat against their body. This prevents the bird from flying and is incurable in adults.

Best foods to feed the ducks are:

Leafy greens

Peas

Corn

Grapes cut in half

Bird seed/Duck pellets

and Oats!

They will really enjoy these foods and it will keep them fit and healthy
