Peas and sweetcorn is good, different ducks will eat varying salt type stuff and as above, seed is also good for them.
At a push and if you have no other option, seeded bread IS ok because ducks and swans etc often now go without being fed because of that information coming out not to feed them bread. What happened was they ended up not being fed at all instead so the RSPB & RSCPA etc changed their view on feeding bread. |

"I wonder if I go and feed some ducks will I get told off for doing that?  "
It depends on what you feed them. Bread is a really bad thing to feed ducks for several reasons. If you do, we'll tell you off if we catch you. |

I feed the birds on the lake seeded bread. It's a myth that bread affects swan's wings.
The rats also like the bread, but I give the squirrels nuts.
I might take a bag of peas over next time, but I need to find out if I can sit on a bench for 5 minutes to recover from the walk to the park; otherwise I'll have to get the bus and that's defeating the object of going for exercise and not the safest thing to do, at the moment.
