I understood it is dry bread is the problem. If ducks eat a lot of dry bread it can swell up inside them when wetter.

All this would do is make them feel full but seeing as ducks can shit for a living then this wouldn’t be a problem for long.

Tosh. Friction and duck buoyancy enters the equation so there is not a direct equal and opposite reaction in terms of bread to duck interface.

Anyway,what if they are on land? Or ice?
If you are bringing friction into the equation then it would be nothing more than a glancing blow which to a duck would be nothing more than a leaf falling from a tree.

if they are on land then they would leap up & bullet header the bread straight into the pond.

As I understand it bread doesn't deliver any of the stuff they need in their diet. Also makes them lazy.

The same as you shouldn't put bread out for hedgehogs either

Went to Halfrauds and bought an exhaust hanging strap.. Last component needed in the great diesel heater installation
All fitted and works a treat..
Though I am gonna refit the diesel pump with some sort of isolator. It is rubber mounted but you can really hear the 'donk, donk, donk' as it is working even though it is right under the van

14 bottles of the Co-ops mulled wine. After extensive testing we've settled on theirs this year. :borra2:

A bag of bananas and a Christmas card for mrs Beaker.

Just to be clear, the bananas are for general consumption, the Xmas card is for mrs b.
