As the weather begins to get nicer and you take your kiddos to the ponds behind E. Boxborough Drive, or to any pond or lake to feed the ducks and geese, please keep this bit of information in mind.

 

FYI....feeding bread causes permanent damage to ducks and geese. They fill up on bread and then don't eat the protein they need. They develop angel wing. They cannot migrate or fly to avoid predators.  

 

Please do not feed bread to ducks and geese.  

 

Cracked corn, corn, peas, mealworms, romaine lettuce, watermelon, grapes CUT into pieces, cantaloupe....are all good options!
