Nature Centre Asking Residents To 'Keep Wildlife Wild' - October 18, 2022 - Micah Quinn

Hand feeding wild birds has become a problem in our city. That is according to the Helen Schuler Nature Centre. Officials there say they have received a large number of reports of people hand feeding birds in city parks along with an increase in social media posts of the same kind. Jessica Deacon-Rodgers, the program coordinator with the centre, says birds choose to live in areas like the river bottom in Lethbridge because they have access to natural food sources and shelter. She says it’s not a good idea to hand feed the birds.

Deacon-Rodgers says shrubs, trees and naturalized areas in your yard provide good food sources and a natural habitat for birds.
