There is a lot of difference between taking a whole carrier bag of bread and sharing the crumbs from your sandwich or the crust of a loaf.  In the past no-one would have had so much food to waste. The number of pigeons this has attracted has been growing and  groups of these taking off and then swirling and flapping around your head are really quite unsavoury and unhealthy. This park could do with some information signs as many people are unable to identify any of the birds regularly seen there. Then a message about the fact that bread is not considered nutritious and good for them could also be added. Mouldy bread is a definite no-no. Yes, we've seen rats too around and about the ponds.  The crows amongst others actually take carrier bags out of bins and empty and share and spread the contents so it its never a good idea to leave food.
