Most birds will love that you throw bread at them but can't actually eat it...
Most humans will be offended that you throw bread at them, but it's nutritive for them...
If you got the right halves, that's a solid plan.

To elaborate on what's already common knowledge, feeding bread to birds is a fucking terrible idea in every way. Nobody wins except potentially some algae that gets some new kids, a mold that gets a lovely new home in a respiratory tract, or a fox that gets easy prey unable to fly.
on the other side, it's not every day that someone leaves a cookie in one of the carts at work, and the parking lot has a lot of very persuading crows
Isn't that worse? Chocolate ain't exactly healthy for most animals.
well usually it's sugar cookies
What if I like foxes and hate ducks?
- Don't feed wild animals. For this rule, the particular type of food doesn't matter. Wild animals are harmed from human feeding, even if the food is nutritionally beneficial to them.
- Bread spoils fast, and spoiled foods in the environment can make a lot of animals sick.
- Bread doesn't contain the nutrients that many birds need, so birds (especially young birds) that eat too much bread at the expense of not eating other foods might become unhealthy from deficiencies on other fronts.
I point out these three distinct reasons because the overall points being made don't make it OK to feed wild ducks peas or whatever else. For farmed animals, though, farmers will want the overall nutritional profile to meet some standard, at which point old bread and other scraps could very well be part of a broader diet, in a way that manages household waste.
I hate to be that guy but you should actually feed birds bird seed or I think frozen vegetables is also good. Bread will fill them up but won't provide them vital nutrients
I say as I eat a cheeseburger and fries
hey, care for others is good
It's probably fine for angels, though.
"BE NOT AFR-- is that whole grain, seeded pumpernickel?!" [Munching noises]
If the many-eyed Seraphim descended upon me, I'd offer them eyedrops.
Better be garlic bread cuz that shit is divine.
Hahaha
This would be me, but with bird seed.
It’s got white feathers like a seagull so you throw it chippies.
I only learned from here that people from the UK associate seagulls with eating chips/fries, while where I grew up, the stereotype was them stealing sandwiches.
Kookaburras are what steal your sandwich.
