How to Feed Whole Wheat Bread to Ducks

Although conventional belief is that wild ducks should forage for themselves, finding their own food in their habitat, there may be times at which you feed wild ducks. Most communities prefer that people not feed ducks in municipal areas because the remains of human food can clog up water, creating an unhealthy environment. If permissible or warranted, feed whole wheat bread to ducks, but only in very small amounts. A duck's diet is healthier if it consists of whole grains, according to the book "Duck."

Instructions

    • 1

      Offer small pieces of torn whole wheat to ducks by tossing one or two pieces onto a grassy or dirt-covered area. Do not throw the bread into the water, because it can lead to pollution or disease if it remains uneaten in the water.

    • 2

      Wait to see if the ducks eat the whole wheat bread. Do not throw more bread until you see if the ducks eat the bread you threw.

    • 3

      Throw another piece or two, only after the ducks eat the first pieces you threw. Stop throwing bread when the ducks stop eating it.
