Is it harmful to feed bread to ducks? Fierce row breaks out after official-looking sign appears at a lake encouraging visitors to give them food

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7590289/Row-breaks-official-looking-sign-feeding-bread-ducks.html

The official-looking sign appeared at a pond at Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, Derbyshire, saying ducks were 'dying of starvation'

Glad to see this because I do put out bread occasionally.  Primarily bird seed and seed cakes, but about once a month they get bread as a treat.  :)

Fantastic video T40!  What beautiful eyes!  When I first started watching the Decorah Eagles, I never thought I would develop such an interest for the varieties of eagles worldwide as I have.  Many thanks to you for expanding my horizons.  :)

While I was watching this video, I noticed one off to the side that caught my interest.  It compares the Great Philippine eagle to the Harpy Eagle.  You've probably already seen this, but in case you haven't...

NW - So glad you enjoyed the video. Gorgeous raptor with startlingly blue eyes. Have you seen "Bird of Prey?" Here's the trailer for it. The film is available on Amazon or iTunes to rent or buy. It'll change your life.

Trailer: http://birdofpreymovie.com/

I don't know what you know so I'm just going to plunge in: Neil Rettig (Bird of Prey filmmaker) is an RRP Board member and his wife, Dr. Laura Johnson, took care of D32 that first day and night after he was discovered. Neil and Laura lost their Harpy eagle, Cal, to blackflies a year ago. They had presented Cal at one of the ATFs and Neil was 1 of only 2 people in the U.S. permitted to have a Harpy eagle. The Philippine and Harpy eagles are the most spectacular raptors, IMHO. And, yes, I've watched the Harpy v. Philippine eagle video and had recently posted it in the Philippine Eagle thread. ;)
