As for ducks, no bread, don't feed, there is plenty of food out there for them as other wild life. They should not get tooooo friendly with people, its not good for them.
With a bird feeder the dropped bread brings mice and rats and they bring the snakes. Is this want you want in your yard! The circle of life
