I love your blog. When I was a child, I dreamed about being a zookeeper when I grow up, but then I became a Ob/Gyn. Life! I like reading your stories and thinking this could have happened to me. In Caracas, where I live, there are a lot of macaws all over the city and people feed them from their windows and balconies. I believe they cause them a great damage with this behavior

feeding wild animals can be both damaging and good. Sadly the animals living wild have their habitats destroyed, reduced amount of food available for them that they are having to move further inland. I personally have no issues with feeding wild animals provided it is done to not change their behaviour but to just help them out. I randomise the feeding days and also only feed certain times of the year when food is harder for them to find. Animals need our help and we have to do something, but yes if its affecting their behaviour then I agree this is pretty detrimental to the species. I am glad you enjoy my posts, I aim to post daily :)
