Many people enjoy feeding wild birds because it is a pleasant activity that helps them relax and relieve stress.
However, it is important to understand that not all food products can be used to feed birds.
For example, experts insist that no wild birds should be fed bread.
What can you treat the birds with?
Pigeons
These birds love grains and legumes, so the choice is quite rich. The birds can be offered regular sunflower seeds. However, it is important to understand that they must be raw: fried and salted seeds will only harm the birds.
You can also pay attention to buckwheat, millet and wheat.
Among legumes, lentils and split peas stand out. These foods will help you treat pigeons without harming them.
Ducks
Feeding ducks is incredibly pleasant, because they live on water bodies. This allows you to feel one with nature. Many ornithologists believe that ducks, swans and other birds do not need to be fed at all: they can get everything they need themselves.
If you really want to "communicate" with the ducks, then you need to choose the right treat.
Special balanced feed is sold for birds, as ducks are used in livestock farming. You can also pay attention to oatmeal and fresh berries.
