Today, I was feeding some ducks. One of them choked to death on the old bread. FML

Today, in order to try and get over my slight fear of swans, I went down to the local park to feed them. One decided that I looked tastier than the bread I was throwing and chased me around the feeding area while everybody laughed. FML

Today, my friend and I were making sandwiches at his house. His family's dog wandered over just as I dropped a large chunk of cheddar on the floor. The dog snatched it up and ran away with it. I yelled after it, jokingly, that I hoped it would choke and die. It did. FML

Today, my pet bird died. He had caught some illness and had been extremely sick for the past few days. He didn't die from the illness though. My dog ate him. FML

Today, I was walking through the park eating fries. There was an old woman feeding a few pigeons. They didn't seem too interested, so I threw some fries down as I walked by to try and help her out. About 2 minutes later, I heard screaming. A huge group of pigeons were attacking the old woman. FML

Today, I was eating with a friend while walking on the sidewalk. A couple of pigeons were bothering us so I threw a fry onto the street. As a flock of pigeons were gathering around the fry, a truck drove by. Only four survived. FML

Today, my cat died while walking around the kitchen. He had a heart attack when the toaster popped out two slices of bread. FML

Today, I was at a pond taking pictures with my new camera. I saw a mama duck leading her babies around and decided to get in closer to take a picture. Mama duck got spooked and led her babies too close to a waterfall escaping. One fell off. It never surfaced. FML

Today, I was at the park when I saw a homeless man. I gave him my sandwich, since he needed it more than me. Seconds later, he was attacked by a flock of birds. FML

Although I will admit to having fond childhood memories of feeding bread to ducks, doing so is not a good idea for several reasons. Firstly, bread is high in carbohydrates but is of no nutritional value to ducks (this can lead to a host of nutrition related problems for them - Google for more info). Moderate amounts of bread are okay, but there is no accurate way for any individual to gauge how much bread a duck is being fed by other sources. Bread can also clog and cause ecological damage to waterways. If one wants to feed ducks, halved grapes, shredded lettuce, bird seed, peas, and other grains are much better choices. However, it should always be remembered that taming ducks can ultimately be harmful, as it creates a cycle of dependence and can put them in dangerous situations when seeking food from humans.

"bread can also clog and cause ecological damage to waterways" WTF 51??!! How much bread would that take! Last I checked bread was not considered HAZMAT. **** off and find a tree to hug.

Shit builds up, dude. A little bit isn't harmful, but a lot of little bits? It's not like bread just dissolves or something.

I wasn't aware that bread wasn't biodegradable or had any sort of substantial half-life when placed in water? Who knew. I'm sure soon we will hear of massive flooding of low lying areas caused by bread dams. Is this problem specific to bread or should we enforce a ban on all baked goods? Again, **** off and hug a tree far away from me.

You're not supposed to give ducks bread, jackass. You just killed an animal because you never bothered to learn something the rest of us have known since childhood.
