Hi Nikki & welcome to Project Noah! Please don't take the comment personally - We appreciate you were not feeding the ducks but one of the aims of Project Noah is education so we always try to educate our users where we see something happening that isn't in the animals' best interest. This is so that not just the user, but the wider Noah community is able to learn.
thanks, but before you criticize, know what you are criticizing... I took this of a family from above them on a bridge with a long lens.
Nikki, We are not allowed to feed wild life here. Bread is not good for ducks. It can get stuck on the roof of the mouth and cause decay and disease. If you must feed them by the right kind of food for them. It might cost a little more than the bread , You are really doing more harm than good bu feeding the ducks bread.
