Default dont feed the birds

At the marina a man finished cleaning his fish , he was feeding all the
birds. Then he took his clean fish and
put it in his ice chest or cooler or what ever he had and started swatting
at birds. I was lmao watching the birds
just flood his boat.


We have a situation here down in VA Beach where the ASPCA is having to
do a large rescue job on baby pelicans that did not migrate south
becasue tourists fed them all summer and they didn't learn how to
hunt...there are over 100 starved juveniles that they're feeding 5 lbs
of fish to a day...my concern is that they not just get them back
healthy but that they set up some program to teach these birds how to
survive without having to really on human offerings...
