Ducks and diabetes

Just look at these majestic creatures:


They swim all day and then force your sorry ass to give them food, hell yeah! They don't care the white bread you're giving them gives them diabetes, so what? That bread is delicious. They are more than happy to partake in your amalgamation of wheat and yeast.

Though, on a more serious note... Buy the damn ducks some proper whole grain bread; the white stuff makes them fat and they start having difficulties flying. Do you think you're helping them by feeding them white bread? Nope. Give these critters a chance and give them Whole Wheat.

I FEED THE DUCKS.

I am fond of ducks, so I feed them. Same goes for sparrows and the like. However, I don't ever feed swans - as pretty as they might look, they are aggressive and unpleasant, and in certain areas they are invasive species even. So I support the local fauna.

When I was young, I used to feed them with sunflower seeds and stuff like that, but I don't really have time/money/dedication to buy that specifically for birds, so I'm guilty of feeding them with bread every now and then, when I have some with me and they're nigh.

:3

I feed them white bread to fatten them up, then I come back in a few weeks and collect them. Best way to have duck soup.

I once fed some ducks a bag of maltesers. They would only eat them if I sucked the chocolate off first though.

I feed seagulls fries.

That's about it.

Srsly?! Wow, learn something new every day..

I don't feed them anymore but I remember going down to a little pond behind the park in my hometown and tossing chunks of bread over the bridge to ducks all the time. Probably killed them.. *runs away crying*

And I dunno who does it but it seems like every day I walk around the other side of Lake Merritt there's a massive pile of geese, ducks, pelicans, seagulls and whatnot fighting over a giant circle of bread.

Yeah....I'm just going to feed them whatever bread I have that's stale....

I heard just this year about bird diabetes as well. It was in the local newspaper.

Some poor old lady (probably) was asking about the cute, chubby birds that acted so tame that she and others had seen jumping around, seemingly oblivious to anything happening around them. The paper had contacted an ornitologist or a bird expert of some renown, that had basically told them:

"Yeah, the birds have diabetes and are just about to die. It is probably because people have been feeding them unhealthy food".

I must admit I laughed a bit at the paper, because of the way it was written. They hade made it a grand revealing, a plot twist instead of telling it in the header or insert. The story itself was somehow tragic, of course.

I might feed the ducks when they get a job, damned hippies.

But yeah, there are no ducks to feed in Montreal, just pigeons and seagulls. And I let them go into the garbage for the excess food of mine that they want because I'm not a litter bug.

I did that once... with tabasco sauce. xD






Ducks aren't a worry here. It's more about the kangaroos that follow the ♥♥♥♥ out of you in our local park when you try to feed the ducks some food.

But I love ducks. I do feed them healthy foods when I get the chance, like actual fish and wholemeal bird pellets etc.

I hate the ducks, when I am trying to feed to eels, the stupid ducks come and take all the food, but when I am trying to feed the ducks, they are funny, but they deserve to get diabetes and die for stealing the eel food.

Mother ♥♥♥♥ers!

Thank you so much

Thank you for forever ruining the beautiful image that are ducks.


CANNOT UNSEE.

Oh my god, I read this as "dicks and diabetes" first.

We have a big park with a pond here, where ducks and geese stay during the summer months, but like hell do I feed them, they can fend for themselves.

im not going out of my way to buy bread for ducks
they'll get what they get and deal with it

Really? THEN QUICK, WHAT DOES THIS SAY: I have a dig bick.

Anyways, I went to the Lake District in England a couple weeks ago and I found that the geese there were... let's just say that "morbidly obese" would be a compliment. And what was worse, people didn't seem to realize the damage they were doing and kept throwing bread at them.
