Feeding birds with bread is a hobby that’s shared by many people across cultures. However, although birds are glad to gouge on your ordinary treats, there are plenty of reasons as to why this is not actually a good idea.
According to experts “Birdseed, frozen corn or peas (thaw first), oats, and other greens (torn up small so they can eat them) provide the best nutritional value to them. But please do not feed ducks bread. It provides no nutrition, so they end up being fat and essentially starving at the same time.”
Simply put, bread does not possess any significant nutritional value; a duck or goose might become satisfied in eating the crumbs, but it is no way giving them the nourishment necessary to become healthy birds. It’s kind of similar to merely living on croutons alone your whole life. There’s a chance that you will continue to exist, but you will certainly suffer from poor health because of inadequate nourishment.![shutterstock_1442750258[1].jpg](https://www.seniorforums.com/data/attachments/136/136674-6017fbd85f50133aa86ed1b29051e54c.jpg "shutterstock_1442750258[1].jpg")
