NOw I often see people feeding the birds at the pond, and when its with bread I get a little annoyed and why is that you may ask

In areas where ducks are regularly fed bread the ducklings will not receive adequate nutrition for proper growth and development. it can also lead to Overcrowding — Where food is easy to come by, ducks and other waterfowl will lay more eggs and the pond or lake will become overcrowded.

Instead consider these things to feed them cracked corn, oats, rice, birdseed, frozen peas, chopped lettuce, or sliced grapes. These foods are similar to natural foods ducks will forage for on their own,but do not over feed them, if to much food is left it decays in the water and can cause other issues

and another family but this time out for a walk, I gave them plenty of space didnt want to get to close and have a goose chasing me
