What does a duck eat?

Answer 1

Most wild ducks dive down and eat underwater plants.

Some ducks will eat small fish, insects are on their diet, grain, and seeds they eat also. People feed them in parks usually old bread. Domestic ducks are fed poultry feed which has crushed dried corn in it.
Ducks eat grasses, wild grains, and other vegetation, such as pond weeds. Also water snails and some insects.

When asked, "What do ducks eat?", many people's first answer is "bread." That's because humans have taken to feeding ducks bread whenever they are at a park, a lake or other places where ducks are gathered and people go to have picnics. While it's fun, the kids love it and the ducks look cute, it is not healthy for the ducks.

Ducks who eat bread or crackers on a regular basis have organs which become enlarged and fatty, even though it's a treat. That causes them to have health problems, such as heart and liver disease. Birds also have a little pouch called a crop on their esophagus where they store food on its way through their digestive system. Bread can get stuck in there and cause them to sick.

Most people who feed ducks think they are doing them a favor but just the opposite is the case. It is very poor nutrition as birds need protein, plus bread has a lot of additives that a bird's system does not know how to deal with as it tries to digest the pieces. In places where ducks are just constantly fed people food, some of the birds become dependent on getting the food and forget how to fend for themselves in the wild. Ducks will often fight over bread scraps and those on the losing end (the young and the old) will often become injured or go hungry.
Ducks are omnivorous, meaning that they get their nutrition from plants as well as animals. Their typical diet consists of small snails and fish, algae, floating plants, seeds, frogs and other small lizards, berries, nuts, and whatever else they can find.
