#16 Feed the ducks 2.0 ... with peas, not bread.
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 7 Jan 2018
Since we did our first feeding the ducks video we've learnt that feeding the ducks bread is not only bad for them but can also be bad for the environment they live in.
Birds can suffer from a problem called Angel Wing that can be caused by eating food that is not nutritious or carbohydrate rich - like most breads. Uneaten bread can clog waterways and help algae growth in that area.
Looking at the RSPB and other websites we've learnt that peas can be fed to the ducks without causing the above problems.

So, taking this advice we figured it would be a good excuse for some time out of the house getting some fresh air, especially as everyone is struggling to get over the colds that have turned many a house into a plague house over Christmas.
