Please don’t feed them bread, it is very unhealthy for them. It can make them sick or worse yet, kill them.
If your bread gets stale, throw it in the garbage. Your idea is noble, but not healthy for our wildlife. |

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.

No Bread for the duckies
Please, NEVER feed bread to the ducks. It is a popular pastime for some, but very bad for the ducks. Halve some grapes, feed seeds or rice. No bread.
Bread pudding is an easy and delicious way to use up your old bread. |

Stale bread
Whenever you get a loaf of bread, place a portion in the freezer. Then remove and thaw it briefly when needed.

Please do not feed the wildlife. It makes them dependent on us and unable to fend for themselves.
The same can be said for welfare and stimulus checks. |

Some imbecile tossed a plastic bag full of white bread slices near the pond across from the Summer Hill Pool last Sunday. They left the bag and bread scattered on the lawn. I guess they thought the ducks made sandwiches. Do not feed wildlife!

Sometimes I use too much bread to make bread pudding. Torn up bread. Butter Sugar Beaten egg Vanilla milk Yum. Last night had Scalloped tomatoes as a side; torn up bread, sugar, butter, can of undrained tomatoes, smooshed. Yum Our ducks and birdies find insects and little critters. They are so much fun to watch. Sometimes if we leave food out, it attracts Palm Rats.

Not dried rice. That will expand in their stomachs, making them think they're full, but depriving them of nutrition. And then they die of starvation with full bellies.

So how not to waste food? We freeze half the bread we get if there is too much, like shopping at Costco where you have to buy in bulk. Makes great toast later. Other food, if I find I’m throwing out moldy berries or over ripe bananas etc I don’t buy so much of it next time. So, no wastage. You buy only as much as you eat and freeze the rest for another meal.

Don't feed wildlife (also bread is not good for them). Bird feeders are OK, except they attrack mice and squirrels and the birds knock the feed on the ground and it begins to grow as weeds.
