I thought this up after seeing a number of things debunking associations of certain foods with certain animals.
Animal Food Restrictions
Do not feed ducks breadcrumbs, which are a source of empty calories and may cause obesity and secondary health issues, such as diabetes. Substitute healthy snacks, such as cracked corn, seeds, or peas.

don't give this duck diabetes!

Many cats are lactose intolerant, and milk may make them vomit. Give your lactose-intolerant cat soy or almond milk, or coconut milk, if you’re trend conscious.

You do not need to worry about bananas contributing to monkeys’ belly fat. Genetics, and not the food they eat, determine where monkeys accumulate fat, and monkeys are very body-positive, in any case.

Sugar water is hummingbird meth. Why do you think they flit around like that? If you have a hummingbird feeder, you are an enabler and should be ashamed of yourself.

Peanuts are likely to trigger PTSD in elephants as the tasty legume was frequently used as bait in elephant traps during the prolonged elephant conflicts of the last century. For meaningful reconciliation with the elephant community, avoid offering peanuts.

They say koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, but if you check Snopes, you’ll see that they also like stuffed grape leaves and falafel.

Although baleen whales normally subsist on krill, they are fond of Asian noodles. However, owing to gluten sensitivity, ramen and udon are out. Try organic soba, made with 100 percent buckwheat, or Korean dotori guksu, made with acorn flour. Rice sticks are also generally a crowd pleaser.
