Is feeding Bread to the Ducks Bad?

By JKENNY:
'I, like millions of others love to take the chance to wile a weekend afternoon away in our local park. I�m fortunate that my local green space has a rather spacious and beautiful lake that creates a haven for a wide range of species of wildfowl. Some of my earliest childhood memories are trotting down the path, with my mom, dad or grandparents, stopping at the edge of the lake and waiting for an excited avian crowd to congregate in the water, literally a couple of feet away from you. Your parent or grandparent would hand you the plastic bag containing a few spare slices of white bread. Your face would light up like a star, as you eagerly broke off pieces of bread and chucked them at the swelling crowd ahead of you. You�d smile and laugh as you witnessed ducks, geese and swans of all shapes and sizes shove, hustle and peck at each other just so they can compete for a tiny morsel. It brought joy to me then, and it brings a smile to my face, when I see children feeding the ducks today, because it always takes me back to when I was in their shoes. However, all of us who either take or took pleasure in feeding the ducks may have been committing a grave error:
What's Wrong With That Bird's Wing?

The Causes and Effects of Angel Wing

Angel wing is also known as slipped or crooked wing, it�s a condition that causes the last joint of the wing to twist, thus resulting in the primary or flight feathers sticking out rather than lying smooth against the body as is normal. The primary cause is thought to be a nutritional problem; the problem usually begins when the bird is still growing from an immature bird to fully adult. If it is given excess feed during this time, it can cause the bird to fatten up and grow too rapidly, resulting in one or more of the wing joints becoming deformed, thus resulting in angel wing. One other major factor is the type of food given to the wildfowl, most people who feed the wildfowl in the park, usually give them white bread. The problem with white bread is that it causes a deficiency in vitamin E, which is found in high levels in the bird�s natural diet, so that�s things like leaves, seeds and aquatic plants. I must point out that angel wing does not affect the general health of the bird, and it does not leave it at risk from other health issues, but it does leave them looking very shabby, but more importantly totally unable to fly. Of course it is possible that in a modern suburban park with a large lake, with an island situated in the middle, far enough away from the bank to prevent even the most determined predator from swimming across for a bird afflicted with angel wing to live quite comfortably and they do. Food is never a problem, because even when natural food becomes scarce, there is always the constant stream of human food to rely upon. But the fundamental fact remains, is that the bird cannot fly, so if a predator like a fox or an overexcited dog should appear, then it would have little chance to escape. Below is a list of alternative food, you can take the next time you visit the park':
� Wild bird seed and other grains like corn, wheat and barley
� Specialist wildfowl feed (can be bought from places like garden centres or pet shops)
� Vegetable peelings or trimmings (chopped)
� Grapes cut in half
� Frozen peas that have been defrosted
� Earthworms or mealworms

Harveston Rescue Adopt a Pet

4/20/13
Little Man (Chihuahua) is a 4lb quiet lap dog who wants nothing more than to be held and massages. He came to his foster home in Harveston with a rough beginning. He is scared and slowly learning to trust. He sleeps and eats in his crate. Little Man would be an ideal companion to a sedentary senior without children.
