We have someone on our pond that throws out huge piles of corn twice a day morning and evening every day and attracts large flocks of ducks (that have become so large they can hardly waddle), blackbirds, Sandhill Cranes, Anhingas, Cormorants, and other tropical birds.
We no longer see the ducks in the water swimming and looking for food naturally as they used to be doing. The birds just hang and wait for the their two feedings a day.
They have been doing this for many months.
I’m thinking it’s not good for the Sandhill Cranes and other tropical birds to be eating at this feeding grounds regularly instead of doing what they should be doing naturally to find food.
