This question involves feeding wild birds; if you don't approve of this, please don't respond...?
For about six months now, I have been feeding wild birds in a very remote area of a huge parking lot that has a huge grocery store in it. I buy a bag of seed and throw it in the same area and the birds look forward to this. I do this on a day or two of the week that there is not any vehicles parked there or much traffic. Yesterday, a kid that rounds up the grocery baskets in the lot made it his business to walk right over to the area where the birds eat, shoo them away, and look at what they were eating. I feel very badly because I don't know what prompted this kid to go out of his way and do this. Do you think it was purely accidental on his part or do you think someone reported it and he was asked to look. I was hoping I could continue this as it gives me great satisfaction and I am fearful that this little area will be watched more closely now. What do you think?
Because you've chosen to feed birds in a commercial location, some store managers may be hearing complaints of birds defecating on cars. Plus there's still a big scare over the whole bird-flu hype, which leads some people to associate birds with disease. Could be that some people are being over-zealous, but it could also be that your kind efforts are drawing in seagulls, pigeons and customer complaints.
Even though where you're feeding them is farther away from the stores, it's still privately owned commercial property. Maintenance workers could be finding their manicured grass is being reseeded with millets and grains and its becoming an eyesore to some. Your feedings could also be drawing in a larger-than-normal bird population and store owners are getting birds in their buildings or smacking into windows.
Instead of worrying about being reported, have you considered contacting the property owner and asking permission? Perhaps there is a grassy area behind the building or next to the lot that could be a safer and less conspicuous area to feed wild birds. You may even consider writing them a letter, offering to donate a feeder and birdbath and setting up a small songbird sanctuary on their property. If you can get the right people on board, a "green zone" on commercial or industrial property is great public relations for a company.
Good luck!
