Here's why you should not feed ducks bread
After reading this you'll want to curl up in a ball and cry over what you've probably been doing for years!
The internet has not taken well to news that we should actually stop feeding ducks and birds bread.
A park's actions have gone viral after they put up a sign thanking people for not feeding the cute, quacking creatures, as bread could potentially kill them.
The poster reads:
"Bread makes us ill, as it does not contain the right nutrition or calories that we need to keep us warm in winter. Rotting bread pollutes our water and causes nasty surface algae, which kills our fish and gives us diseases.
"It even makes our water smell."

It doesn't mean we should stop feeding ducks though. The sign reckons you're good to go with "half-cut seedless grapes, cooked rice, birdseed, peas, corn, oats and chopped lettuce".
