General PSA: Do not feed wild or captive birds bread, especially ducks and geese!

Bread is a harmful food for avians, it can cause malnutrition if they are over fed (bread has very little nutrition), in particular ducks and geese can suffer from ‘angel wing’ which effects their ability to take flight (migration, fleeing predators, etc.). Bread can also cause a harmful amount of bacteria increase in the water, polluting it essentially if there is too much being thrown (any bread at all is too much bread).

If you love and respect wild birds, don’t feed’em bread! (or anything really, let nature take its course - backyard bird-feeders may be the only exception, but be sure to do your research and feed your visitors with nutritious offerings!).
