...
There's a park near San Francisco where the squirrels have gotten so used to humans (that have been feeding them), they come up and yank stuff out of your hands.
"Jennifer Packard told the San Jose Mercury about the latest attack. She said she had unwrapped a muffin during a picnic last week in Mountain View's Cuesta Park and had given it to her son, Andrew.
Quickly, a brown tree squirrel pounced, attacking the 4-year-old and wrestling with him for the muffin. The youngster was bitten and scratched as he ran screaming through the park with the squirrel still hanging onto him as he rolled desperately in the grass to end the attack."
they feed them in Scotland and Wales also... ducks arent held captive in Englishville.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

I used to. And when I found out lobbing bread at them is interfering with the natural order of things, I've taken to lobbing small bits of tree bark at them.
Considering they're used to people throwing food at them, the stupid birds think I'm doing the same and try to gobble the bits of bark up. Fools.
So everybody wins- I have the pleasure of messing around with the birds, AND I'm not getting involved in the whole disrupting migratory patterns thing.
That's the first thing I thought of when I read the title of the thread and I couldn't stop laughing...
Oh good! Now I don't feel so alone and unusual!
It's the first thing I thought when I read it, so I was thinking how much I enjoy feeding the ducks and thinking this aint gonna be the thread for that and was pleasantly surprised!
That depends on the ducks species and life stage. Different species have different diets. As well, ducks often eat different things at different ages, depending on what their bodies need.
For example, mallard ducks will eat a variety of foods, such as seeds, roots and stems of bulrushes, millet and smartweed, as well as waste grain like barley from farmers fields. Theyve also been known to eat mosquito larvae, midges and mayfly nymphs.
A different example is common mergansers. These birds usually eat minnows, game fish, trout, salmon and some amphibians.
10. Ive heard that feeding ducks bread is bad. What should I feed them?
DUC does not recommend feeding ducks. It increases the chances of negative human/wildlife encounters, reduces the ducks foraging instincts and can make them dependent on people for food.
thanks for the advice mr. acidic personality, killing all that fly with your glare, putting everyone in their places better than you will ever get to.

I think that is the first time I have been accused of being sensitive. You might need to check the batteries in your sarcasm detector.
