Resident Matt Booker said he took his son to feed the ducks at the lake, and was surprised by the request to stop.
"It seems a bit strange to me… Apparently there are too many ducks," he said
"I don't see it as an issue, to be honest.
"Particularly for our little son – he likes feeding them and seeing them."
Marta Rudnicka said she regularly brought the geese and ducks food, and does not intend to stop.
"I don't think they will put a policeman here, guarding the ducks," she said.
"The issue is that [the geese] don't have better places to nest.
"I don't think geese would choose to nest in a residential area if they had better places.
"It's just there is so little of the natural environment left and it's being eroded."
Tony Worgan is the deputy leader of Didcot Town Council and said people tended to feed the birds bread, which made them ill.
"Excess bread actually attracts rats and it means our water quality in the lakes is affected," he said.
"There are lots of complaints about the bird mess.
"People come home with ruined clothes, ruined trousers, kids fall over.
"The mess and the number of geese is becoming unsustainable."
