Healthy Foods for Ducks, Swans and Waterways
Ducks and Swans need a healthy, natural diet. They love Rolled and instant porridge oats, peas, lettuce, sweetcorn and of course, Amy's duck food, which is made from a combination of whole wheat, whole peas, white rice, soya oil and fish meal.
Why not bread?
Bread has very little nutritional value and expands in their stomachs, making them feel full, so they won't feel motivated to eat the vital, healthier, natural diet they need and will harm a duckling's growth.
Uneaten bread in the water is extremely dangerous to the wildlife and river.
Mouldy bread produces toxic chemicals that can cause serious illness to the wildlife and promotes the growth of algae. The excessive nutrients in the bread, feed the algae, causing it to grow more, using up vital oxygen
and can upset biodiversity and ecosystems.
