Community Habitat Preservation

Duck Feeding is a harmless activity that can have serious consequences if not managed correctly.

Feeding incorrect feed to Ducks is the leading contributor to illness and pollution of natural habitats, causing spread of disease and ultimately death to many wild animals in the ecosystem.

The Duck Feed Intiative aims to put a stop to this, with the use of certified approved feed, our dispensers reduce the frequency of incorrect feed being introduced into the ecosystem.

Key Benefits

Reduce Incorrect Feed

The prevention of Foreign Foods entering into the pond ecosystem stops the build up of bad surface Algae. The build up of this Algae can be deadly. It can kill the fish and aquatic creatures who play a key role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem for Ducks to thrive.

Stop the Bread!

Although education on this topic is much more publicised, feeding ducks bread is BAD and unfortunately is still common practice today. Bread is not only bad for the Ducks diet, it causes sludge build up. This sludge build up brings disease to the ecosystem and can kill the wildlife.

Reduce Litter

Although most foods are biodegradable, there are still approved feeds that come in packaging. A large contributor to habitat pollution comes from littering. Plastic packaging from other feeds destroy the wildlife and its habitat. Our dispensers have zero plastic waste. Reducing the amount of litter and plastics entering into the ecosystem.

The Cost Implication

For Local Authorities, the cost of maintaining a pond or lake ecosystem that houses Ducks and other wildlife species can be devastating. Feed The Ducks Initiative helps reduce this burden, by reducing the amount of foreign feed entering into the ecosystem, reducing the amount of litter entering into the ecosystem and help reduce vandalism of local habitats.
