Quack Snacks @ Go Wild 2018, Parc Bryn Bach

By

Team Quack Snacks enjoyed a wonderful day meeting visitors to the biggest nature event in South Wales – Go Wild 2018, held within Parc Bryn Bach.

We were invited to spread the “no bread for ducks” message and showcase our plastic free packaging – and with a good few hundred flyers and packs of Quack Snacks distributed, we hope to have weened a few more folk off bread!

The event itself attracted a great number of visitors, with displays and activities ranging from beekeeping and river life, to wild flowers and owls. If you weren’t there, you should definitely look out for it in 2019! Plus, Parc Bryn Bach is well worth a visit all year round.

We’re honoured to have been gifted to the celebrity VIP ducks Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, who have taken up residence at the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Observatory. Here’s hoping their Quack Snacks fuel their academic works!

Duck Life in Sunny Shrewsbury

Team Quack Snacks are big fans of Shrewsbury and can often be found making a beeline for a sumptuous breakfast in Peaberry’s or a bag of pic n mix from Mollie’s!

Last weekend we were treated to a glorious sunny Bank Holiday Saturday, so enjoyed a long stroll along the River Severn. Well, we say stroll, there was a fair amount of sitting in the park watching the world and ducks go by – bliss!

Stratford Upon Avon Ducks: To feed, or not to feed, that is the question!

By

Stratford-Upon-Avon

Team Quack Snacks enjoyed a wonderful sunny Bank Holiday Sunday in Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare – so you’ll have to forgive us for corrupting a quote from Hamlet: “To feed or not to feed, that is the question”.

In the places where most people congregate, not to feed is most definitely the answer. There are too many people, potentially offering too much food, likely to cause a riotous messy crowd of ducks, swans and geese. It’s not good for them, or the people trying to enjoy an ice cream or picnic amongst the chaos.

Feeding wild ducks responsibly sometimes means not feeding them at all. However, there are well paved walkways along the river Avon well away from the crowds where feeding ducks very sparingly is less likely to cause chaos and mess. But please, make sure it’s not bread, crisps or chips!
