Yes. In our garden (in England) they carry it to the bird bath and drop it in. They wait for while and check to see if it is soft enough to eat. If not, they push it back under water for a while longer until it is to their liking. They sometimes bring crusts from neighbouring gardens to do this.

Why is bread heavier than toast?

Stale bread is NOT heavier than fresh bread. Stale bread is caused by age, light, and lack of moisture, none of which contribute to the bread's weight; if anything, they will cause the bread to lose weight, thanks to the loss of moisture. Even when bread gets moldy, it does not gain weight, since the molds consume the ingredients. My guess is that the asker is confusing weight with the hard feel of stale bread, which, BTW, is used in many recipes, including bread pudding, onion soup, etc. In other words, "stale" does not mean "bad".
