Don't feed the ducks bread, it makes them ill and can clog waterways, the council warns.

委员会警告说，不要给鸭子喂面包，这会让它们生病并堵塞水道。

Instead, the council says we should feed cooked rice, or lettuce, oats, corn, grapes or earthworms to the ducks instead.

相反，该委员会表示，我们应该给鸭子喂煮熟的米饭、生菜、燕麦、玉米、葡萄或蚯蚓。

It says ‘not to’ use bread, doughnuts, popcorn or crisps.

它说“不要”使用面包、甜甜圈、爆米花或薯片。

It adds, about the problem of diseases caused by bread: “Algal blooms occur naturally, but throwing bread and other foods into the water makes the problem worse. The excessive nutrients effectively feed the algae and cause it to grow more. You can help by not throwing bread into rivers and ponds.”

关于面包引起的疾病问题，它补充道：“藻华自然发生，但将面包和其他食物扔进水中会使问题变得更糟。过量的营养物质有效地喂养藻类并使其生长更多。你可以通过不将面包扔进河流和池塘来提供帮助。”

This advice is backed by the Canals & River Trust which adds: “Ducks need a varied diet to be healthy. Bread doesn't have much nutritional value and fills the duck's stomach so that it doesn't forage for foods it would naturally eat, which can lead to malnutrition.

这一建议得到了运河与河流信托基金的支持，该信托基金补充道：“鸭子需要多样化的饮食才能保持健康。面包没有太多营养价值，而且会填满鸭子的胃，使其无法觅食自然吃的食物，从而导致营养不良。

“Uneaten soggy bread can cause a build-up of bad nutrients, which can lead to more algae growing around water, more diseases and more pests, such as rats.

“未吃的湿面包会导致不良营养物质积聚，从而导致水周围藻类生长更多，导致更多疾病和害虫，例如老鼠。

“Too many ducks or waterfowl in one place can stress the birds and lead to their habitats being damaged.

“一个地方太多鸭子或水禽会给鸟类带来压力，导致它们的栖息地受到破坏。

“This also creates excessive amounts of bird droppings, which, along with being smelly and slippery underfoot, can reduce water quality and clog waterways with harmful algae.”

“这还会产生过量的鸟粪，除了臭味和脚下湿滑之外，还会降低水质，并让有害藻类堵塞水道。”
