there is actual potential harm when feeding birds, they can spread disease and become reliant on humans for food, if you want to do crimes pirate a game or something instead

People also often feed bread to birds, but bread is harmful to birds because it doesn't provide the nutrients they need while filling them up so that they don't go find more nutritious foods.

So apparently there was a campaign in the uk telling people to stop feeding bread to ducks, but when it worked loads of ducks died because you know. Less bread. Idk. Seems pretty silly to me just let people feed bread to ducks whatever man there are way more serious problems to worry about imo.
