From our Frequently Asked Questions.... 

​

• Can I feed the deer?

 

NO!  Never feed any of the wild animals.  It endangers the animal, you, and your pets, by allowing the wildlife to associate your home as a food source.  Wildlife have their own special digestive and immune systems that can be compromised, sometimes fatally, if given human food scraps.

​

• Can I feed the birds?

 

Yes! You can feed the birds, but please keep these tips in mind:

 

--Bird feeders also attract predators like bears and snakes, so remove them or keep them inside at night from April--November.

 

--Clean your bird feeders!  Parasites and bacteria can be fatal to birds, especially migratory birds.

 

--Don’t put red dye or food coloring in your hummingbird feeders, which can be harmful to hummingbirds.

​

According to Colorado Parks & Wildlife, “Feeding Wildlife puts everyone at risk.  We know people mean well when they give tidbits to wildlife. What many don’t realize is that feeding big game is bad for the animals and dangerous for people. It’s also against the law. There are lots of good reasons why.”
