A new vending machine has been installed at Burrs Country Park, offering healthy, duck-safe food in biodegradable bags for £1 each, promoting better nutrition for waterfowl and reducing bread feeding, which harms their health and pollutes waterways. Profits support the initiative and the local park group. Bury councillor Alan Quinn endorsed the scheme, which includes educational signage to inform visitors about the negative effects of bread on ducks. This initiative is part of a nationwide trend to promote wildlife-friendly feeding alternatives.
