Ducks, bread and stagnant ponds are a lethal combination!

By Lois Hannah on March 16, 2018 in Birds, Latest News / Blog, Seabirds

 
People love feeding bread to birds in parks but bread is not good for birds!

Every year, environmental conditions such as stagnant water, warm weather and left-over bread combine to cause death to ducks and other birds.

We can help to reduce duck deaths in parks by not feeding any of the birds.
