I don't like giving ducks bread, they could choke

I feed mixed corn.

Domestic or semi domestic duck's ie those fed on park lake's are often given 'mixed corn' which usualy consists of wheat, maize, oats etc or sometines special floating pond pellets, shredded greens is good for them too, especially in the winter month's when they need extra food, Good Luck Tbird+

You should never give ducks white bread, it swells up inside them and can kill them, yes I know we have all done it!! but that's the way the mop flops!!

We think of ducks, here in the American Southwest, as Floating Goats. They eat durned near anything!

They eat small fish and amphibians, reptiles, too! They eat grain & algae & fecal matter deposited by cattle. They do, of course, eat bread and virtually any grain product, such as commercially made breakfast cereals. They eat worms and insects.......Their provender is a major factor in their taste, too! Roast a wild duck or a bred duck but one of them what feeds in the city Park is likely to taste a tad fowl!

Friends of mine used to have a bucket in the kitchen for all their household scraps, including the cold tea complete with tealeaves, and everything went into it for the ducks, who used to gobble it all up as you were tipping it out of the bucket.

Mixed corn is a good thing to feed them on though. Available from most pet shops or feed merchants.
