pesachim 21

can't eat chametz, can't feed it to animals or birds.

Bi'ar Chametz - destroying/removing chametz can only be done by burning, says R. Yehudah
but others say it can be just thrown away, 
into the wind 
or crumbled into the sea.

the fish and birds probably don't have a problem with that....
