Wild birds should have seeds, including sunflower seeds, fat balls, mealworms, apples, and plenty of clean water to drink and wash in. They love also natural berries of all sorts.
They will not die because they have eaten bread. When ever I am at the beach, i take a loaf of bread and feed the gulls. They love it. I wouldn’t feed the cardinals, finches or the wrens in my garden with bread though , or even raw rice. BUT, my friend in London, she throws rice out for the birds on her back veranda and the birds eat that with gusto there.
I liked the way you captured the bird with the bread in the mouth. I should post some of my pictures from the beach when they wait for me to give them the bread.
Healthy bread, e.g., whole wheat or whole grain bread, is pretty harmless. But pizza crusts (!!) white bread or sweet breads should go in a disposal, not in a place for birds to feed.

I read somewhere that you shouldn’t feed birds with bread as it upsets their digestive system…maybe it’s the yeast ?? I buy bird feed to put in the garden, but I’m sure there are probably other foods we can share with them, like fruit perhaps.🐦🔆
Beautiful photo!
We put bird feed out for them. I know they like some fruits, too. And if there is leftover 7-grain bread or wheat bread, we put out a couple of the slices. Some of the birds eat it and some don’t.

Thanks Joanna. Sadly families with small kids tend to feed these wild birds with leftover bread. Fine for kids but not for birds.

Probably not, but try taking it away from that bird. 😉

They will take it (though experts here will say it’s best not to give it)
