Great article thanks. Not so sure that bird feeding is discouraged in Australia! Where did you find that information?

Hi Melody, when researching for this article, most articles indicated that while not illegal, bird feeding is discouraged by many councils and governments in Australia as the wrong food can negatively impact the health of native birds. If we are careful with the type and quantity of food, I think we can still safely enjoy this activity.
