Maybe check city ordinances. There's no signs around where I live. I've actually wondered if their main staple was Subway.

I do it all the time, the baby's thrive, grow fast, and the entire family eats out of my hand.

Is it illegal to feed wild ducks bread? I saw a sign saying "not" to but it didn't reference a specific law or even a penalty I may or may not have accidentally dropped a few bread crumbs Just don't do that around my boat. It's like feeding bums. They show up in droves and shit all over your stuff. |

Bread had little nutritional value for ducks. Since it is very filling, it prevents them from having a well-balanced diet. At least that's what a park ranger told me. Explains all those dead ducks and pigeons in parks.

Italian restaurant near me has a bunch of homes behind it with a "water feature" aka retention pond that has ducks and geese hanging out there all the time. The restaurant takes all the old bread out the back and feeds it to them.
My daughter always refers to it as the "ducky place" and she has fed them plenty of goldfish crackers. |

Its only illegal if you get caught, even then it depends on who catches you.
I'm sure they all meet at the AFC..."Annual Flyway Convention" and give directions to your house. |

No wonder they are called "fowl". Even the big Blue Herons, which crap a gallon at a time, won't roost in their own doo doo. Ducks will. The marina maintenance guys have to do "poopie patrol" each morning so the elderly snowbird tourists don't get grossed out or slip and fall. |

You don't want to attract them back to the area. Small amounts aren't a big deal.

I used to feed ducklings snails (we all did). We'd get the snails from the nearby garden, carry them to the pond and call the ducklings over. They'd eagerly swim over to eat the snails from our hands.
We probably set them up for hunters. In the wild, they'll send a human, think to themselves, "Oh, here's someone who will feed me snails." Fly down and boom! Dinner. |

Not illegal that I know of, but it isn't exactly good for them. Grapes, cracked corn, rice, oats so on is better and more akin to what they would be eating naturally. They eat grasses and other plants in the marshes where they summer or winter.
