Feeding the ducks can disrupt their natural diet and cause harm to their health. Therefore, visitors are not allowed to feed the ducks in the Venice Canals during events and exhibitions. Instead, visitors can enjoy observing and photographing the ducks from a safe distance. It is also important to keep the canals clean and free of trash to ensure the well-being of the ducks and other wildlife.
