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.

I read a long time ago that feeding bread to any bird is bad for them. They do love it, but humans should show some discipline and refrain from doing it. I believe that bread can get stuck in their unique digestive systems and mess them up. Other posters may know the reasons for NOT feeding them better than I do.
