Dumpster diving or provided cranberries, sunflower kernels and cheetoez for crows ? Which is better?

Hi,

You should only feed wild birds if you are offering nutritious foods that would benefit the birds. This means do not offer processed foods, such as Cheetos, that contain artificial ingredients, preservatives & colors. Avoid all dairy, salty foods, and foods with added sugars, artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes, fats & oils and basically any unhealthy ingredients that they would not naturally encounter in the wild. You can offer unsalted raw or dry roasted nuts & seeds, unsweetened cranberries, raisins or dried fruits in small amounts.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
