bird life

its a bad day for nottingham people for years we have enjoyed feednig the ducks and other bird life but now we cant and if we do and get caught we could face a fine of 75 quid, what a load of bollox your going to get a pretent copper fining a young kid feeding a duck????

the main reason for this is as the city has had a high increse in canadian geese even at the university where i work we had 40 of the buggers round yesterday and the geese have become so lazy they arnt feeding them selfs just waiting for some sucker to give them food yes they are nice to look at but they are bad birds when they get fisious so thats why we are being told we can not feed any bird life my thoughts why not just cull the geese and we can get on with feeding the duck which we always have done

come on council use a bit of common sence hey

Ever been to Devon?

So many people feed complete crap to such animals that it is no wonder this fine system has been brought in. Birds (be they seagulls, swans, ducks, geese, whatever) are not supposed to live on foodstuffs like white bread, ice cream cones, chips, etc. And because they get used to being fed such junk by ignorant people, they stop eating what they're supposed to eat - and instead turn to aggressive means to get what they want.

Might be worth researching this one a bit more, Dave... you'd be surprised what you'd learn.
