Quack Snacks® aims to help you feed wild ducks responsibly, with small “quack snack” portions of duck food that’s great for ducks and convenient for duck feeders!
The joy of feeding the ducks at a local pond, river or canal is enjoy by millions of people of all ages across the UK – from families with their children or couples on a date, to a lunch break stress reliever for those at work.
Being active outdoors and engaging with wildlife is widely regarded as being good for us – but sadly, it isn’t always so good for the ducks.
Although widely condemned as being bad for ducks and their watery neighbours, millions of loaves of bread are still tossed into ponds, lakes, rivers and canals each year. Even where there are big signs asking people to not feed bread to ducks, you’ll still find people doing just that.
Perhaps that’s because folk typically have bread easily to hand – it’s a staple of breakfast and lunches – plus it’s sold in a myriad of places. We’ve therefore developed Quack Snacks packs to put nutritious duck food easily to hand too – whether by post, or from shops, cafes and visitor centres.
We don’t sell duck food in giant bags – they’re no fun to carry around and potentially encourage over-feeding. We believe it is best that ducks enjoy only a small snack, so they still get on with foraging for their usual foods and don’t leave uneaten offerings to pollute their environment.
Plus, Quack Snacks are hand packed without plastic packaging – so you won’t be adding to the plastic waste problem!
When you’re off on your next duck feeding adventure, please consider these responsible duck feeding tips and don’t forget your Quack Snacks!
Happy quacking.
