Why do people get mad when they put out birdseed, and all kinds of different birds or animals come around?

Question

Aren't they all Gods creatures? Isn't it sort of like discrimination based on color or race?

Answer 1

Excellent question! I have a neighbor that called the authorities on me because he said my rabbits brought rats to the neighborhood... When the animal control people showed up, they found out he was feeding the birds and it was the birdseed that was all over the ground that was attracting the rodents.
He couldn't believe it... he put out BIRD seed... only birds eat BIRD seed! My rabbits are clean, healthy, (vet checked) and well cared for,,, with no signs of rodents! But he still didn't believe it... People have preconcieved ideas of what animals eat and how they behave... and sometimes nothing will change their minds. It's not the animals that have problems... it's the people.

Answer 2

My mom doesn't mind all the other kinds of birds, but the squirrels. They eat a whole feeder full of food in about an hour!!! She gets so mad. I really can't blame her, it seems like she's always filling the feeders, because of the squirrels

Answer 3

I suppose it's because they want to specifically feed the birds - so they can bird-watch. But yes, you have to take extreme measures if you want to prevent other animals from eating food set out for birds. I think setting out several kinds and types of food in different types of feeders take care of everything. :-)

Answer 5

I Don't know, I tell my mom & Dad the same thing. When they put bread outside for the birds, then some rats come and eat some, they gets mad. I tell them Rats haft to eat too. God made all animals. And all animals haft to eat.

Answer 6

Because birds will poop all over their backyards and will eventually reproduce more animals to make more birds.
It will sometimes attract squirrels, raccoons, or maybe even deer.

Answer 7

They probably only want certain types of birds to come. Most people don't want nuisance birds (like black birds) in their yard.

Answer 8

They don't understand the way nature works. They want the animals to behave as they expect, and not the way they normally would.

Answer 9

Let's not forget destroying gardens!

Answer 10

Because people don't want bird sh*t all over their house, yard and car.
