I suppose it all depends on if you support the endangered species act.
That says you should not intentionally be interrupting or altering
natural migration patterns with human activity.

Both my wife and I enjoy watching the little creatures, and I don't
believe any of the crap they say about not feeding the wildlife. The
animals don't care, why should you?

As long as you are honest that you are just doing this for your own
enjoyment there is no problem. Just do not think you are helping the
animals.
My mother had birds that she fed all the time too. I think the saddest
scene I have seen was her pet white egret, standing outside her door
after she died. If he can't find someone else to feed him, he may be
joining her soon. He had totally forgotten how to fish and there may
not really even be a suitable place for him to fish around there.
Most people who feed sea birds are feeding them an unnatural diet that
will hasten their death anyway.

If we alter their natural feeding habitat or feed them an unhealthy
diet, why should we care? There are plenty of new animals to take
their place. We feed them so we can take photos to show our friends.
You lift your photos from the internet and claim them to be your own.
It's well known.
