should not be feeing the ducks bread the glutin breaks down and puts a slimy wall around there stomachs preventing them from obsorbing the nutrents from there foods.. like puting glue on a wall.. sad
come on, people; knowledge is fine and thank you for spreading it but a bag of chips in a life otherwise filled with foraged foods, seeds, grubs, etc? And to die of being fat in the wild? Have you any concept of this irony?
Some people here claim that bread isn't good for ducks. Why? I've always fed ducks with bread, especially toast bread, but if it causes any damage to them, I won't do it anymore in the future.
@SamHawkens Bread is the equivalent to junk food for ducks, and too much bread can lead to excessive weight and malnutrition. In some cases the overweight birds lose the ability to fly. Offered in extreme moderation, bread is not harmful, but that moderation is hard to judge. Environmentally conscious birders will refrain from offering any bread to ducks to avoid dietary problems and other issues caused by a carbohydrate rich diet
I like your video. I love ducks. We have a pair of Mallard Ducks that come to our school each year to make their nest and we walk with them to the lake. You can go to Marigold's Journey 2010 and see our video.
So cute!! If it happens again, give them barley or wheat seeds...they love it and is good for them. Bread isn't good for them even though they love it!
Are ducks allowed in the house in Ohio? cause i dont ave a farm and my mom says i can have one if its legal :) PLEASE REPLY! PLEASE REPLY! PLEASE REPLY! PLEASE REPLY! PLEASE REPLY! PLEASE REPLY!
I love ducks. I have 7 Mallard ducks right now. 5 I incubated from eggs and 2 were bought at a feed store. They sometimes will quack at the back door and if the weather's too bad, I'll bring them in for the night.
That is one smart mother, too. She had the sense to seek shelter and o get your attention. She must be very used to humans and well aware of humans consideration for cute animals to actually asked to be let into a human dwelling.
Thank you so much for giving shelter to my friends!! (But you know, bread is awfully unhealthy for wild birds. Seeds, worms, etc., are preferable. You get an A+ for being so hospitable.)
Actually, mallard ducks will eat worms and small fish as well as water plants and small wild flowers (I've already seen wild ducks eat "buttercups"). And they'll be happy to eat whatever's in your garden, including tomatoes..
That was so sweet of all of you. For a family that has the nice habit of taking off your shoes when entering the house, you don't hesitate to throw bread on the floor for a mama duck and her peeps. I'll be your friend!
Well, yes, the house is quite lovely, and thank you for the hospitality, however it is just not quite what we were looking for. :)
