An Alaskan neighbor thought it was wonderful to bring home left over food from restaurants and throw it out in his yard every day for the birds .... Vile! 20 to 30 ravens and gulls left droppings on the entire blocks roofs, were loud and pests. You could see the flock following him home in his truck everyday at feeding time. The bird poop was getting disgusting. The neighbors and the borough had to ask them to stop. Bird feeders, nut and seed attract bears to your yard. Not good for bear or human. Let the birds find more natural food. The deer where I live are like flies - every where - every day. I love nature but I don’t feed it.
my bird feeders get attacked by the squirrels and the deer....makes me not even want to put feed out....at least there's the hummers....
