I never stopped feeding them bread, simply because i thought it was a load of bollocks. I did try peas and rice once but they looked at me like i had tried to touch them inabreadriately. I buy white bread purely for fishing, and feeding to wildfowl and have never stopped doing so. Pah! White processed muck??!! We only buy the best whole grain multi-seed bread as 'duck bread'. We never skimp where the welfare of animals is concerned.

I believe water fowl are birds. Herons are Pterodactyls!! Looks just like Jurassic Fucking Park. Been around longer than humans.

I believe water fowl are birds. Coots are birds. Ducks are fowl. Their feet are different coots do not have fully webbed feet ducks do. Coot young are called Chicks duck young are called Ducklings. Its just the way it is. Eta I realise you can call a duck a bird but coots and ducks are completely different creatures in terms of their origins and habits. There's lots of coots on thunderboat. Have I just miss spelt a word? I'm confused.

We never skimp where the welfare of animals is concerned. This week my jackdaws have consumed pitta bread/naan bread/ packets of biscuits/ muesli/ blackberry n apple crumble/dried fruit.. I'm clearing out freezer and cupboards and as son gone walkies have to find other recipients for food I won't eat...they sit n wait daily..

The first word is detachable from the second word. Being a pleb does not automatically mean ignorance. Some plebs are very knowledgeable. These particular plebs did not know the difference between a duck and a coot. They probably didn't even know that coots are birds not water fowl. Apologies if I appear plebist. I am not a plebist. But... .... Some of your best friends are plebs?

Yes but if bullshitting about the health of swans resulted in crt getting more people interested this could possibly result in more cash to spend on the canals... How much did the whole little stunt cost them? Remember the friends scheme isn't in profit yet. It's being subsidised by boaters.
