would a cat count as a wild animal
I would argue that cats aren’t exactly domesticated. More like tamed perhaps.
In my defense, the only time I gave ducks bread was one time a gang of them surrounded me. One started biting/pecking my toe while the other was jumping up snatching at the sandwich I was eating. It was ducking extortion!!
That's fair, I'd probably throw the sandwich and run.
Idk I tried to feed ducks with some frozen peas, and those fuckers just spat them out.
Just like people, some like them, some don't! I usually let them thaw first, so I'm not sure if they'd like them still frozen. Maybe that was a factor?
There's these two identical swans at the local park named Tom & Jerry that have been there for years. One of them loves peas and will gobble them straight from your hand (if they know and trust you,) but the other one will go to eat whatever you're giving them from your hand, see/smell that it's peas, and their head flies back and they violently shakes their head like "NOPE!" It's hilarious! I love those goobers.
I thought the reason they say not to feed ducks bread was because they would get used it and flock to city centers.
Mainly they flock to bakeries. Once they've tried the artesianal stuff they come up with all kinds of crazy hijinks to get it. It's really a nuisance.
“Ok that’s seven loaves of sourdough- Wait. I’m gonna need to see some ID.”
(Reasonable quacking sounds)
“Dang it. It’s ducks in a trench coat again. Third time today.”
(Reasonable quacking sounds)
thanks for the good chuckle. 😁
It's practically an epidemic.
You get little cans of peas that you can keep in your car in case of duck sightings
I would love to explain my Emergency Peas to people who saw them.
I appreciate you and your peas, but that could kill someone if you crash, much better to put the can in the glove compartment or boot.
God, there's one in every fuckin thread 😂
It's in the boot
One what, person who shows concern for the safety of whoever is in your car (and that of whoever decides to follow your advice)? How utterly horrific that must be for you.. 🙄
It's pretty obvious it's in the boot though if you look at the image. It's in something made of plastic, it's dirty, and it's with a first aid kit.
Sorry to be blunt but the pseudo-intellectual above just assumed I was stupid enough to keep a loose projectile in the car. I mean it's pictured next to a first aid kit.
I shouldn't have to post a disclaimer every single time along with a pic. "Here's my car-peas for ducks. Please note that they are secured in the boot of the car where they cannot injure anyone and that feeding peas to young ducks creates a choking hazard and your ducks may be at risk if you do not keep up payments. Anyway enjoy the amusing picture and don't have nightmares"
A lot of people make the world worse while thinking they're making it better
Based on the meme in a freezer you have in your car as it seems it must be frozen peas otherwise they will fight you to death.
I should explain, due to my experience in this matter. Frozen peas are better, simply because they float. Canned peas sink, so you can only throw a few at a time
That said, I've seen what I am sure was a duck getting brain-freeze from the frozen ones. Can't be sure but I didn't imagine the stinkeye
What nutes do those foods have that the bread does not? Isn't white bread usually enriched?
Bread is a good and easy source of carbs. Even if it has other nutrients, the duck is going to be consuming far more carbs than it should. While the other things have carbs, they aren't nearly as bio-available. It's like drinking juice that's had a bunch of sugar added and thinking it's healthy because it's juice. Carbs are the thing that'll make you fat, regardless of what other nutrients come with it.
