The private community I live in wants to outlaw feeders because they attract bears and turkeys. I need ammunition to help fight this!
We have one tiny feeder on our kitchen window that is one of the joys of our retired life here in the woods. Anybody got some good info or links out there?

      The national wildlife federation is a major supporter of backyard bird/wildlife feeding. I put a link to their website where you may be able to find some good information on why this is important to nature. Also, maybe you can find if there are certain types of food or feeders that won’t attract the bears and turkeys; and then the community could at least require that only those feeders be used.
      I can’t believe they would want to outlaw this, good luck.

      If you have bears you have bears. If you get rid of the bird food you will still have bears.
