Feeding birds is unacceptable with bread, write online. Some media indicate that bread is literally Killing Thousands of birds. Ducks, pigeons and sparrows They promise indigestion, joint diseases, obesity or, conversely, malnutrition-and all because of the bear service from a person.
Apparently, the rumor about the dangers of bird bread came from the UK. It all started with a message from the Royal Poultry Society in 2008. In any case, about this speaks Member of the Ural Ornithological Society Nina Sadykova, explaining where the belief about the dangers of bread came from. “We must understand that Great Britain is the country of the winning huddling, where almost all residents are lovers and experts in birds. The scale of top dressing of wild birds there is not comparable with Russian, and the industry is very developed, which provides bird lovers with everything necessary for attracting and observing birds, including “correct” mixtures for feeding, ”she said in interview Ural media.
