I tried feeding frozen peas to ducks in a pond near me. The peas mostly sank below the water immediately, and the ducks didn’t seem to care for them anyways. A few of them came over to investigate and weren’t interested after checking them out. I might’ve been doing it wrong, or maybe the ducks just were just too used to getting fed bread.

Rolled oats seems to work pretty well. They tend to float and the ducks like them (and it's not bad for them).

  Interesting, when I tried rolled oats the ducks weren’t going for them! And a bunch of them sank, too.

My local swan goes nuts for peas but eats out of my hand and they’re all bread spoiled

I managed to feed our swans easily some grass i throwed in the water.
The geese are hesitating often but sometimes eat grass. And the ducks only eat grass if either swans or geese already ate because they probably are too bread trained

But even if the greens go to waste they should not pollute the water compared to bread
