Peachtree City says don’t feed ducks

With baby ducks and geese starting to appear on its lakes and ponds, Peachtree City is asking residents to resist the temptation to feed them.

The city issued a notice Monday noting that “feeding wildlife like ducks and geese can cause a variety of problems and is actually harmful to the birds.”

The notice said that bread, popcorn and other “junk food” is not part of the birds’ natural diet and “can even cause deformity in the juvenile birds.”
