at the forks, they sell little parcels of what looks like ground corn for people to feel the ducks and geese
Loriann:
As i stated once before earlier in this thread here its illegal to feed water fowl and you can be fined for doing it in any of the waterfront parks or walkways.

Here in Ontario, at the Jack Miner sanctuary where geese congregate on their migrations and also injured birds are kept in an enclosure where they interact with the public, they use corn and I think the grain is barley Some local farmers leave some corn rows in their fields so the geese sometimes feed there as well. The public are not allowed near the migrating flocks only the volunteers from the centre feed those but the ones in the enclosure will eat right out of your hands if you are brave enough. We go there every few years, used to be for the kids but we go there now and then to watch the great flocks take off for the south. You can't always guarantee you will see a departure but when you do it is quite breathtaking .
