there is actual potential harm when feeding birds, they can spread disease and become reliant on humans for food, if you want to do crimes pirate a game or something instead
People also often feed bread to birds, but bread is harmful to birds because it doesn't provide the nutrients they need while filling them up so that they don't go find more nutritious foods.
So apparently there was a campaign in the uk telling people to stop feeding bread to ducks, but when it worked loads of ducks died because you know. Less bread. Idk. Seems pretty silly to me just let people feed bread to ducks whatever man there are way more serious problems to worry about imo.
Just feed them seeds instead.
You wouldn't feed a bird.
And lot of the food just goes to rats, which just helps the rat population.
Rats?! I hate rats!
Wild rats are indeed a pest, but don't hate ALL rats. Fancy rats are great!
They are reliant on humans. Go follow some rules that aren't cruel.
It's arguably crueller to feed them chips than to feed them nothing.

Maybe they should say, "don't poison the birds," because that's what you're actually doing.
Or "don't feed the rats", since that's another worry when people feed birds.
Then don't feed them?
Gotta meet my daily crime quota, and this seemed like a nice opportunity.
Please only feed the birbs food that you've confirmed to be birb-safe.
I think we have a little revolutionary on our hands :)
Hell of a shot though. Looks like a Starling of some type. Maybe Eurasian? Maybe just common.
Not sure! They are kinda new in my town, few years. Super interesting birds. Saw two of them stare down a teenage girl at the bus stop until she gave them part of her sandwich.

Wonder why the city wouldn’t want people feeding lil featherbirbs :)
(For context I love birds enough to be concerned about doing right by them even though feeding them is fun and initially seems like must be benign if not actually helpful)
To make my crime less exciting, I can add that the rule isn't about the birds really. We have recently developet rat problems, but: a lot of people feed birds by dumping sacks of bread which the rats eat. And on top of that some rat activists (yes) proceed to dump huge piles of food specifically for the rats but claim to the law that it's bird food.
So it's "forbidden" only as a technicality to be able to prosecute rat feeders. Bird feeding, and especially direct feeding, they don't care about.
My entire country advises against feeding birds or any wildlife, it’s harmful to them.
Pretty sure it's a French fry.
Part of a oatmeal raisin scone.
Is it because they aren't real and robots don't need food?
/s
Robots do need food, it comes from your wall outlets or batteries
You should avoid feeding any wild animal if you can. Except maybe hummingbirds.
OP likes to live dangerously
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
