you might want to back that up with a reason why bud.
It’s not healthy to feed animals in the wild. They become dependent on that food source and then stop eating their own food. Bread, etc, doesn’t have all the nutrients that ducks require. Often it gives them a false sense of fullness too. Then they stick around past their normal migration dates and it all becomes bad. There are signs in many natural reserves about it. Places like the Public Gardens have a mix of wild/tame and they still provide for them over the winter. Other places don’t. It’s best not to feed them at all in case.
Oh, and BTW, it wasn’t me who posted, I just used to work at a park where we asked visitors never to feed the ducks.
ahhh got cha. Thanks
yeah,quit feeding them, so they can be fed to someone else. if they stay there all year, they don’t migrate, no migration, no duck hunt,no hunt, no money for the government, no money for them, they’ll raise all our fucking taxes again. stop feeding those fucking birds, and other wild animals. you will be the cause of our taxes going up,again.
Quit feeding the homeless too!
Quit giving spare change to beggars.
