‘Don’t feed the wildlife’

At least that’s what the signs say at Constitution Gardens. I guess these guys must have missed them.

Busted in this incriminating photo, nicely done!

They couldn't resist! That's a pity.

Too bad they couldn’t just enjoy watching them.

They have to put up educational signs to teach people how feeding bread and other worthless "foods" can harm the wildlife.

Unfortunately it happens far too often! Nice capture,
Helen.

Nicely composed and captured, I think they did not see the sign. V

They seem to have made friends with the ducks. Feeding them though is very unhealthy and it’s too bad the signs are followed. V

well seen and captured....Something similar happens here in almost every park.V

Neat shot Helen, but that's pretty typical, people missing/ignoring those signs. I was guilty of that too when my kids were small. Even now with the promotion and use of bird feeders, are we all ignoring ignoring these signs or are rules just different for birds in parks???

Very likable slice of life shot, Helen ~VV~
