Avoid feeding ducks foods that are high in fat or sugar, such as bread, pastries, and chips. These foods can be harmful to ducks' health and can lead to obesity and other health problems. You should also avoid feeding ducks moldy or spoiled food.
When feeding ducks in your garden, be sure to keep a few things in mind:
- Place food in a shallow dish or tray so that the ducks can easily access it.
- Feed the ducks only small amounts of food at a time. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health problems.
- Feed the ducks at the same time each day so they will learn to expect food.
- Keep the area around the food station clean to avoid attracting pests.
By following these tips, you can provide a safe and healthy environment for wild ducks in your garden.
