Many birds will happily eat bread, but willingness to eat something doesn't mean it's nutritionally appropriate.

Bread generally doesn't provide the balanced nutrients wild birds need, particularly when it replaces more nutritious natural foods.

Moldy bread can create additional hazards.

If people choose to feed wild birds, appropriate foods depend on the species and local wildlife guidance.

“Animals eat it” and “it's good for them” are two very different things.
