What else can I help you with?
What do you call a group of cockles?
A group of cockles is typically referred to as a bed or a shoal. This collective noun is used to describe a gathering of these bivalve mollusks in their natural habitat, such as sandy or muddy seabeds. The term "bed" is commonly used when referring to a larger group of cockles, while "shoal" is often used for a smaller grouping.
What is a cockles defense mechanism like?
Cockles have a thick, hard shell that provides physical protection from predators. When threatened, cockles can quickly close their shell, reducing the likelihood of being eaten. Additionally, some species of cockles can burrow into the sand to hide from predators.
Is bread good for horses?
Bread is fine to feed SOME horses. At my barn where my two horses live they hay quality is pretty bad. All the horses get hay stretch to supplement the bad quality hay but they also get bread. We don't feed any other grains. All the seven horses sometimes get up to 2 full loaves of bread in a day. That most often includes multi-grain bread and bagels(with raisins!). Still, I wouldn't feed bread EVERY day as it is high in starch. You should NOT feed bread to horses that are prone to laminitis or that have foundered. I would also never feed bread to an overweight horse. I wouldn't feed any horse bread as the sole ration BUT if the horse had no teeth it would be great as an additive to soaked grains. Like anything you feed your horse(carrots, apples, grain etc), you need to give them time to get used to it. You wouldn't dump a huge can of sweet feed into their bin out of nowhere so don't do this with bread either. Work them up from once slice to a whole loaf. Never feed a large amount if your horse has been off bread for more than a couple days. The sudden change could cause colic as with ANY normal grain or apple. To get specifics/nutritional information there are some university studies on feeding bread to horses that can be easily found through internet search. They have concluded that bread is safe. Just know that if you are not careful, it can cause problems, again, as with anything you feed your horse. Lastly, if your horse already has a balanced diet and is doing fine on his high quality hay and grain, don't add bread as a part of his diet. Feed it only as a treat. Four or five slices or a few bagels is fine a couple times a week if your horse is being ridden. Donuts are not considered bread here. Don't feed donuts to your horse!
Why shouldn't you feed ducks bread?

What predates on cockles?
Large snails and sea stars.In Europe...Many shorebirds and waterfowl will predate on the common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) occurring in intertidal areas. Perhaps the most important of these are oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) and common eider (Somateria mollissima) feeding upon adult cockles, and knot (Calidris canutus) feeding upon spat (newly settled). There are also numerous invertebrate predators of cockle spat, such as the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) and the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon). These spat predators can seriously affect settlement success in some years. Record settlements of cockle in some areas after the 1962/63 cold winter was attributed partly to increased mortality and delayed migration of particularly invertebrate predators. Fish in estuaries, such as flounder (Platichthys flesus), will also feed upon small cockles, though fish predation is thought not to be as important as a mortality factor as bird and invertebrate predation.As mentioned above, starfish can also be important predators of cockles of various sizes. This applies particularly to the common starfish (Asterias rubens) which can sometimes form huge swarms in estuarine areas and is considered a serious pest of shellfisheries.
What will happen to the oystercatcher population if there is competition for food?
The oysters would die and cockles (which they feed on) would increase.
