I used to love walking along the Thames in the summer watching the swans and ducks bobbling along peacefully - until someone comes along and feed them with bread then all the ducks scramble viciously for the feed leaving the poor swans with nothing

Yep! Another big issue, unfortunately for the ducks too! Bread is actually bad for the birds, even though we have been feeding them bread for years as a family pastime. 'Lets go feed the ducks' was a regular thing to hear as a child. We would grab our stale loaves, head to the local nature reserve, throw it in and wait for the swarm of wings! The problem with this is it bloats in the bird's stomach and really doesn't do them any good at all. We are now told that sweetcorn would be a much better substitute :)
