Hi Lon,
Good point. I have a neighbor who puts out pieces of bread so large you
can see the birds carry them up into the branches, trying to break them up
to get a piece small enough to eat.
Attracts all the wrong birds and rodents too. When I write of "feeding",
I refer to those people who create dependency.
