Most birds will love that you throw bread at them but can’t actually eat it…

Most humans will be offended that you throw bread at them, but it’s nutritive for them…

If you got the right halves, that’s a solid plan.

To elaborate on what’s already common knowledge, feeding bread to birds is a fucking terrible idea in every way. Nobody wins except potentially some algae that gets some new kids, a mold that gets a lovely new home in a respiratory tract, or a fox that gets easy prey unable to fly.

  on the other side, it’s not every day that someone leaves a cookie in one of the carts at work, and the parking lot has a lot of very persuading crows

    Isn’t that worse? Chocolate ain’t exactly healthy for most animals.

  Don’t feed wild animals. For this rule, the particular type of food doesn’t matter. Wild animals are harmed from human feeding, even if the food is nutritionally beneficial to them.
  
  Bread spoils fast, and spoiled foods in the environment can make a lot of animals sick.
  
  Bread doesn’t contain the nutrients that many birds need, so birds (especially young birds) that eat too much bread at the expense of not eating other foods might become unhealthy from deficiencies on other fronts.
  
  I point out these three distinct reasons because the overall points being made don’t make it OK to feed wild ducks peas or whatever else. For farmed animals, though, farmers will want the overall nutritional profile to meet some standard, at which point old bread and other scraps could very well be part of a broader diet, in a way that manages household waste.
