Some people even offer them potato chips, popcorn, and crackers. No! Don’t do it! Those things aren’t really that nutritious for people. Ducks who eat only these items are more likely to become ill and malnourished.
It may be hard – but don’t feed the baby ducks bread either! They need to learn how to forage for food. A normal diet for ducks is insects, snails, and small fish. There are plenty of those to go around, so don’t worry about the ducks being hungry!
If you would really love to feed the birds something, opt for more healthy snacks, like cut up grapes, earthworms, peas, corn, or chopped lettuce. But, again, only in small amounts.
The birds can’t depend on humans for food.
Share away, people.
