No to both if eating as bread. Fine for crumbs or cubes.

Not many but a few. And that was an execption. I only did it because I was
stuck home after stepping on that nail and all of the infections and
operation and such that went with it. Because I was unable to go out and
get any food, I was paying a pretty penny to have food delivered. I was
also unable to get up and get my own food so was dependant on what was
brought to me. Nobody in this house was eating their normal foods. It was
a very bad and stressful time. Nobody complained about the food during this
time. We just ate what we had or got and we were glad that at least we had
food.

Nope. You, like others here take one thing that I say and assume that every
day in our house is the same. They're not. Things change. For the worse
or for the better. But they always change.

It's summer now so our meals will change. Daughter's dance schedule has
changed. And I presume it will change again when school starts. Much of
what I make for meals depends on her schedule.

Who really cares? I don't happen to like refrigerated bread but if Sheldon
does, then let him eat it!

I usually know what things mean but I am stuck with the TIAD, I imagine that
the AD is American Diet, but what is the TI?

I read somewhere that most wild animals should not have bread as it is not
their normal diet.

This explains what you should feed them if you chose too. And it
specifically says no bread.

But it doesn't say why. They also say not to feed bread to ducks, but many
people do.

It does say why. It's not their normal diet. They could fill up on that
because it is convenient to them but then not get the nutrients they need.

Country Village (an old timey shopping area here) has a lot of ducks and
they sell feed just for them. But people still give them bread.

Also at the Olive Garden in Lynnwood, there are two ducks. They've gotten
so used to the garlic breadsticks, they won't eat anything else.

What really bugs me is the drive through animal park in Seqium. They used
to sell you up to two loaves of stale bread at the entrance if you wanted
it. This was to feed to the animals. They had an odd assortment, including
a zebra. As the years went by, the place went into serious decline. They
had less and less animals and the animals did not look healthy at all. They
no longer sell the bread but they will still allow you to feed it to almost
all of the animals.

OK, but it's not really harmful to them unless that was all they ate.

But that in and of itself is the problem. If they are in your backyard and
you begin feeding them bread, they'll just keep coming there to get that and
not forage any more. Which is why it says if you are going to feed them, to
feed them the proper food.

I doubt that they wouldn't forage for other stuff, but I'll go along with
it's not a good *idea* rather then real harm unless you fed them 10 loaves a
day as opposed to a crust here and there.

It isn't part of their usual diet and provides nothing but empty calories.

Birds will eat bread, too, but again it's not part of their normal diet
unless you make it so. Sure, it fills them up. But depending on the
type of bird, seeds or worms/grubs/bugs are what they eat.

Deer around here will decimate many outdoor potted plants right down to
the stem. They're herbivores.

On top of that, it has caused some deadly situation in the water
that kills the ducks. A bacterial problem of some sort. Sorry
I don't remember the details.

I wonder if the same is true for popcorn. I have done that, fed
popcorn to the ducks in the Public Gardens in Boston.

No, it's not really harmful. It's simply not nutritious.

All of that is true I'm sure, but it's not *harmful* to them simply because
they ate a piece of bread. I feed birds bread crumbs often. I had a blue jay
that took peanuts from my hand and would sit at the patio table waiting for
them. He lived a long time. I have a pic of him sitting next to a long neck
Budweiser, but he wasnt' a drinker.:-)

When it's minus twenty with six feet of snow covering everything and
there's not much else to eat a few slices of stale bread is better
than nothing... they like old apples too. Deer eat quite a varied
diet, and their diet changes with the seasons with what's available.

Geese eat vegetation, ducks eat animal protein. Some ducks will eat
seeds but mostly ducks filter animal life from ponds/lakes. Geese are
primarily vegetarian, ducks are primarily carnivorous. Geese love
popcorn, ducks ignore it. Mostly what you see at public gardens are
geese, not ducks. Geese are easily domesticated, not so with ducks.
