Look out for our feathered friends!

Just don't feed wild animals

would a cat count as a wild animal
- I would argue that cats aren’t exactly domesticated. More like tamed perhaps.
What about feeding a wild thang

I keep seeing this but as far as I can tell the only study on the subject seems to show that it has no effect on their normal grazing patterns and that both domesticated and wild ducks heavily fed bread spend 90% of their time "naturally grazing"

It's basically just duck junk food. https://www.uu.nl/en/background/what-to-feed-ducks-according-to-science Probably not an issue if they don't get too much, and still get plenty of good quality food in. I'd still rather give them something good for them, but I'm glad it's not as terrible as it seems.
- Totally agree, it's just that there is a lot of pearl clutching when it comes to this topic and we need a more balanced approach.
  A little bit of bread is not going to hurt them, but maybe there are some other options that are better. But if they get fed some bread, probably don't need to have an aggressive confrontation about it
Right? Let us be the fun uncles and aunts that spoil our duck nibblings with junk food. We don't get to see them enough as it is.

Idk I tried to feed ducks with some frozen peas, and those fuckers just spat them out.

Just like people, some like them, some don't! I usually let them thaw first, so I'm not sure if they'd like them still frozen. Maybe that was a factor?
There's these two identical swans at the local park named Tom & Jerry that have been there for years. One of them loves peas and will gobble them straight from your hand (if they know and trust you,) but the other one will go to eat whatever you're giving them from your hand, see/smell that it's peas, and their head flies back and they violently shakes their head like "NOPE!" It's hilarious! I love those goobers.

as a treat, many ducks love blueberries! it shouldn't be their main food though. I had a duck that would go wild for blueberries.

what if I feed them human flesh?

Just be careful; once they get a taste for man, that's all they'll want from then on.

You get little cans of peas that you can keep in your car in case of duck sightings

I would love to explain my Emergency Peas to people who saw them.
- Me too lol
Based on the meme in a freezer you have in your car as it seems it must be frozen peas otherwise they will fight you to death.
- I should explain, due to my experience in this matter. Frozen peas are better, simply because they float. Canned peas sink, so you can only throw a few at a time
  That said, I've seen what I am sure was a duck getting brain-freeze from the frozen ones. Can't be sure but I didn't imagine the stinkeye
All we are saying, is give peas a chance.

I thought the reason they say not to feed ducks bread was because they would get used it and flock to city centers.

Mainly they flock to bakeries. Once they've tried the artesianal stuff they come up with all kinds of crazy hijinks to get it. It's really a nuisance.
- “Ok that’s seven loaves of sourdough- Wait. I’m gonna need to see some ID.”
  (Reasonable quacking sounds)
  “Dang it. It’s ducks in a trench coat again. Third time today.”
- I was always under the impression that ducks liked to eat at Subway.

We have signs saying the same all around our local park. It seems to stop no one :(
