According to the Canal and River Trust, the best food items to feed ducks are: Sweetcorn - tinned, frozen or fresh is fine, just make sure you defrost frozen corn. Lettuce - all types of salad leaves are fine, as long as it hasn’t gone slimy. Peas - no need to cook them, but allow frozen peas to defrost before feeding them to ducks. Oats - rolled oats and even instant porridge oats are fine to feed ducks. You could even feed them small pieces of flapjack, as long as there isn’t too much added sugar. Seeds - bird seed or supermarket-bought seeds for human consumption are fine. Seeds are very nutritious and will be snapped up. Rice - both cooked and uncooked rice is fine

Hi Christine, thank you for your helpful comment. We agree that they should have a natural and varied diet. We don't normally feed them bread, but we had a little leftover and had run out of our usual food which is Mr. Johnson's Wildlife Swan Duck and Goose food, which is approved by the British Waterfoul Association. We feed about 2 kilos of this a week! So we have quite a few regular visitors! :) x

Cool artwork, but not so sure about the “appropriateness” of the screw driving or hammer & chisel! 🤣

[@NarrowboatLiberty]

Haha we very much adopted a ‘trial and error’ approach to tool selection…eventually settling for the tools a burglar might use! :)
