This article has a bunch of suggestions.

I guess they didn't want to follow GDPR
Here is some of the important stuff from the article.
Rather than feeding ducks bread, bird enthusiasts can instead offer them treats like:
Halved grapes (be sure to cut them in half to prevent choking)
Cracked corn
Thawed frozen peas
Barley
Oats
Birdseed
Duck pellets
Even with these healthier snacks, Norris says it’s still important to only feed ducks in moderation. If the birds, especially the ducklings, become reliant on people for their food, they may stop foraging or engaging in their other natural behaviors.
“You don’t need to bring a whole bag of seed, a whole bag of grapes,” Norris says, “You don’t want to just throw a whole bunch of stuff at them.” Instead, a handful of snacks should suffice.
This is the first time I've been alerted to a GDPR related issue. Is this becoming a common issue for people in the EU?
Whoa thanks. I think this is one of the first times being blocked was really an issue, but I don't really visit US news sites

Though for the love of god don't feed them bread, it's awful for them

Wondering if swearing at my dumbass smart speakers all the time is going to have consequences down the line.

Why there is duck with two head?
Also, I get Berserk Eclipse vibes from this.
i read it as "stale (breadman)" instead of "(stale bread) man"
I often worry about this. Have I done enough? Will I be remembered?
I will always upvote this comic. It always pulls a smile from me. Thanks op!
When I worked closer to a lake I fantasized about feeding the gulls on my way to work to slowly build up an army of loyal trash birds.
Rumbling?
