Why do ducks eat bread? Started by: Trolley-Snatcha on Mar 25, '11 17:40

Good day all!

Yes I have alot of time on my hands between the Petties and the Flights and I like to ponder. After fleeing a local post office I ran through Central Park and saw a family feeding bread to the ducks. And this got me thinking, "Why do ducks eat bread?". When during their evolution (or creation if you think Darwin was a nutter), when did ducks decide they were too good for pond weed and grain and choose to eat human food instead. Before us humans invented backeries were ducks eating bread then. Had Dave the Duck found away to mix flour and water and heat it on a hot stone just to cure their addiction for a nice white loaf.

I am just thinking aloud here so feel free to have your say and give your wisdom to my ponderings. Also if you have any burning questions yourself shout them out. Theres some theory somewhere about the wisdom of the mob, so i think if we all join in we can crack these good damn problems.

Another one that has been troubleing me recently, and is actually vaguely relevent to recent street activity. I'm talking about people who are "treading on thin ice", by this i'm sure you all know what i mean, they are saying things that might get them in to trouble. However once they have said to much, we say"Ooo now they have fallen in hot water". I dont understand this. How can ice be on top of hot water, is this why the ice is thin in the first place but surely it would melt before the person can get their next word out. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

 

Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot. - Beans are not a fruit..

How do New Yorks finest handcuff that one armed man running around?

And I will leave you with this one, when we get to hell, which i'm sure we will for the life we lead. When we are there and get anoyed with somone. Where do we tell them to go? We are already in hell...

 

You dont know how grateful I would be if I could have some of these questions answered, so thank you if you do.

There is an old saying that fits in perfectly here I think.

Never get high off your own supply.

That being said, you pose some intriguing hypothetical questions. As for the Ducks I'd say it's not their fault they like bread but more our fault for feeding it to them in the first place. Curiosity got the better of them from crumbs the we have left in the park, all it takes is one person to see this, come back the next day and feed them bread while other people are watching and thus start a trend.

Personally I think your trying too see to much into a simple saying. If we were to take everything that people say literally we would all be running around in a very different world with a totally changed mindset.

As for us getting to hell, you obviously don't read much scripture. All that takes to get to heaven is to accept Jesus into your heart and with feeling ask for forgiveness. Yes there are those of us who will go to hell, but then there are others who do what they do out of necessity. To put food on their table, to clothe their kids. While many of us are killers we are not all rampaging psychos who kill out of lust. We kill because we have to, we steal because there is no other option for us.

Hmm interesting take on things Tom. You still leave me with a few conundrums.

Saying that people havnt confessed their sins or all that god mumbo jumbo. And they end up in Hell, you still havnt answered the question about what they say when they get pissed off at someone.

Also can you impose your senior wisdom on to how to handcuff a one armed man?

I also forgot to add in my first speech, this has baffaled me for ages. I dont understand why my boss, Flux_Pavilion, who i know is a great music producer, i dont know why he has another mans song in his quote. Come on boss, lets celebrate your own shit.

Well tbh if your in hell the last thing your gonna be worrying about is seeing someone who pisses you off, what with the big nasty getting medieval on your ass.

Handcuffing a one armed man, simple cuff his ankles he. He ain't gonna be able to make a quick get away, that or hog tie him. But that might be a little too much.

As for Flux_Pavilion I couldn't possibly say as I don't know any of his tunes.

Genius, thank you, it seems so simple when you think about it.

I would love to be in your position where your mind dosent constantly boggle.

Normally I dont tackle such philisophical questions, but I feel compelled to grace the streets with my presence.

Ducks, or any living creature, will eat whatever tastes best and is easiest to get. So a guy tossing them bread beats foraging for anything else. Thats also why you eat twinkies instead of digging for grubs.

Ahh the old thin ice conundrum. This is just a matter of degrees. You see the thin ice is frozen, and once you fall through it you are in water, which by definition is hotter than ice.

So here we are in hell and you piss me off. I simply say: "Fuck you! Why dont you just stay right here!"

Well, there's a bit of the world according to Bennie for ya.

Don't bother ringing it up, it's for a duck. Ducks eat for free.

I hear ducks really like sun chips as well.

Twisted walks up hearing the discussion, She clears her throat and waits for a chance to speak.

Well here goes, Depending on the species, Ducks can eat vegetation, Grain, Fish, Crustaceans and a variety of other things.

She pulls out a cigarette and lights it inhaling deep, She begins to speak again as she exhales slowly.


What they should NOT eat is bread. I am astonished at the number of people who said that ducks eat bread. Bread can be fatal to ducks, either from causing liver disease, or from causing a bacterial infection.

Although Ducks seem to love bread, it is not nutritious. White bread in particular is made from refined flour and is not proper for avian nutrition. Many Ducks suffer from degenerative liver disease because they eat too much.

Also, leftover bread and Duck droppings pollute the water. The uneaten bread turns into a deadly mold called Aspergillus, which is fatal to Ducks, fish and other animals. Rotting bread can also breed other deadly diseases and parasites, particularly a duck virus Enteritis, which with a single outbreak will kill all the Ducks of that area.

While it is fun to watch the ducks bobbing for bread or racing to get that piece you threw just a little to far out, Remember for them its deadly, And it does alot of damage to their eco system in general.

Twisted turns and walks down the street continuing to smoke her cigarette and mumble to herself.

A duck walks into a florist. He says "Got bread?"

The florist replies: "No sir, this is a flower shop. We sell every type of flower you can imagine but no, we dont sell bread."

The next day the same duck walks into the same florist. He asks again "Got bread?"

The florist is slightly confused. He says "No sir, I say again, we do not sell bread here!"

The next day, the duck tries again. The florist, now irate with said duck says "Look, we sell flowers! NO bread! If you come in here once more asking for bread I'm going to nail your beak to the floor!"

The next day....the duck enters the shop once more. The shop keeper is ready to be angry...The duck says "Got nails?"

The florest screams: "NO we dont sell bloody nails!"

To which the duck replies "Got bread then?"

Angel chuckles at the joke Flux_Pavilion made, glad for the laugh. She then clears her throat gently and says to Trolley,

I was listening to the responses to your other questions, and I have some thoughts on one of them myself. "How do New Yorks finest handcuff that one armed man running around?" Well, if I were them, I would find a way to lasso the man! I understand that this might be a bit tricky, as not everyone carries a rope with them, but I believe that it would not be too difficult to add to the uniform. This would enable them to catch him without risk of being charged with police brutality. Those are my thoughts on the subject.

Angel goes to take a sip of her Jack, and realizes it is empty, so she walks across the street into the bar on the other side, close enough that she could still listen to the conversation going on outside.
