Please Don't feed. High-carb diets cause the birds to defecate more, and the ducks' stool can harbor bacteria that cause diseases like avian botulism, Norris explains. Uneaten bread is also a problem. Moldy bread can cause a deadly lung infection capable of wiping out an entire flock of ducks. It's best to let all of our wildlife live naturally.
