Mallards are generalist foragers and will eat a wide variety of food. They donât dive, but dabble to feed, tipping forward in the water to eat seeds and aquatic vegetation. They also roam around on the shore and pick at vegetation and prey on the ground.
Many of these foods are similar to the natural seeds, grains and plants the birds will forage on their own. As omnivorous birds, ducks will eat a great deal of different foods, and the best foods to offer ducks include: 1  Cracked corn. 2  Wheat, barley or similar grains. 3  Oats (uncooked; rolled or quick).4  Rice (cooked or uncooked). 5  Milo. 6  Birdseed (any type or mix). 7  Grapes (cut in half). 8  Frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook).f you do choose to feed ducks and waterfowl at local ponds occasionally, the best tactic is to visit rarely so the birds are not getting excess food that would be unhealthy for them or their environment.
