The Movies Lied About Feeding Ducks

4/6/2020

A few weeks ago I decided to take the little one to feed the ducks.  Geechi in her true nature of wanting to minister to the ducks suggested that I feed them the stale raisin break that we had left.  Remembering that raisins are toxic to dogs I hopped onto Google to make sure that raisins wouldn’t be toxic to ducks and geese.  Well to my surprise I learned something—DON’T FEED BREAD TO DUCKS!
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!  Had all the movies showing people feeding bread to ducks lied to me?!? YES.  Apparently bread provides no nutritional value to ducks the same as soda water (it’s the southern in me) to humans.  If you were lied to like I was here is a list of things you can feed to ducks and geese. 
  1. If over 4 weeks old Corn: frozen, canned, or fresh NOT POPCORN​
  2. Cucumber
  3. If over 4 weeks old Peas
  4. Scrambled eggs
  5. Dry cat/dog food
  6. Rice
  7. Bananas NO PEEL
  8. Carrots
  9. Broccoli and or Cabbage
  10. Lettuce 
The movies lied but the internet never will ???. Leave the ? at home and bring some ???????

Bread is indeed bad for the ducks. This is something I learned when I visited the zoo recently with my nephew. We brought bread for the ducks because my nephew was excited to feed them since he loves animals so much. But, when we were about to throw some bread crumbs towards the ducks, we were told that ducks should not be fed with bread because they grow mold that is harmful for the ducks. I wish movies would stop showing scenes where characters are feeding bread to the ducks because they are promoting misinformation.
