Feeding the ducks at Mary Stevens Park, Stourbridge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3BRwC4ChNs

After a delicious lunch and latte in the No.92 Coffee Lounge, the Quack Snacks team enjoyed a leisurely stroll around Stourbridge’s Mary Stevens Park – including a stop to offer some Quack Snacks Duck Food to the local wildfowl!

We were pleased to find a great sign advising people about the problem of feeding bread to the ducks. It’s also good to see they advise feeding only small amounts of food – overfeeding too much of a good thing can still be bad! Unfortunately, a short walk from the sign we passed people tossing a loaf of bread into Heath Pool.

Feeding the ducks on the River Severn in Worcester

Team Quack Snacks enjoyed an amble around the shops in Worcester, before heading to the walkway along the River Severn.

Sadly, those who insist on throwing whole loaves of bread at our feathered friends were out and about too – the spot by the Copenhagen St Car Park became a bun fight of bread feeders and swans. There are signs stating that fishing isn’t allowed to protect the swans….but we didn’t see anything warning about the bread problem.

We walked further along the river to a spot by the Diglis House Hotel, where a couple of swans were soon joined by half a dozen others…..and then some mallards! A little left and right scattering of Quack Snacks saw the two groups happily snack apart.

Feeding the ducks at Wyndley Pool, Sutton Coldfield

Fans of feeding the ducks are spoilt for choice in Sutton Coldfield! After our venture to Blackroot Pool, we moved on to find Wyndley Pool on the outskirts of Sutton Park. Sadly, people were pulling up in their cars and emptying whole bags of bread into the pool – we’ll be telling folk “bread is bad for ducks” for some time yet it seems!

We moved well away from the bread feeders and enjoyed offering a little “Quack Snack” to the ducks who preferred to avoid the feeding riot elsewhere.

Feeding the ducks in Lichfield

Team Quack Snacks visited the lovely city of Lichfield and found plenty of scenic spots for feeding the ducks – although sadly also the usual batch of folk tossing bread into the water right next to signs advising that bread is bad for the ducks. The ducks seem perfectly happy to accept something healthier as our little video shows!
