If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds". Thanks for another well-written post. Straight from The Zen Birdfeeder blog:

I read that in some study with chickadees, there was no difference in survival between those fed and those not fed, even after the food source was taken away. For whatever it is worth, I think the main problems with feeding are windows, cats and the potential for spreading disease. I think we have the first two issues taken care of now, but we have had two finches who appear to have the eye disease so I am concerned about spreading it. Curious about your experiment.
