Wildlife feeding refers to the practice of providing food to wild animals, often in natural settings or parks. This can include offering seeds, fruits, or specialized feed to attract various species. While it can be enjoyable for people to observe wildlife up close, it can also disrupt natural feeding habits and lead to dependency on human-provided food. Many wildlife experts advise against feeding animals, as it can alter their behavior and habitat. Animals like squirrels, birds, and deer may become reliant on human food sources, which can affect their health and survival. Additionally, feeding can increase the risk of human-wildlife conflicts.
