but you can't feed other wild animals?
But we do all the time. Food stamps are a thing.
l m a o ooooo
first thing that comes to mind is that birds as typically defined are song birds. everything outside of that could be considered as game - i would think in some other circumstances what is federally protected would be caveated into 'do not feed' as well. i am not certain how this works in federal parks however since folks do feed 'game' so there may be caveats to hunting in these areas. just shooin' from the hip on this one.
The only true and correct answer.
They sound real, when my cat Harley is crunching their bones...
They put that sound in your head with lasers.
Who, Harley?

As pointed out already. We feed the niggers but people feed deer and other game all the time.
I sometimes put game feeders out to attract deer. As far as I know, deer are still considered wild animals. I put out bird feeders to attract birds for my cats.
About 4-5 winters ago was pretty bad for deer in my area. So I bought a 50lb bag of winter deer feed for $12.50 to see if they would come, that's how it all started. I'm in a wooded rural/residential area of about 2ac average lot size and I often see deer in my yard through the year. It started off with 4-5 deer showing up in my backyard. More bags of feed. About 3 weeks later I had 27 in my back yard at one time. It was a lot of fun. I fed them a couple of rounds a night by flashlight, created a number of small piles in a large semicircle so they wouldn't fight over it. They would creep in on me with anticipation as I was making the piles. I could have reached out and touched them. After the piles were done, I'd go inside and watch them. Minimal interaction.
Your not doing any favors by domesticating wild animals, unless you want to shoot them of course.
I took great effort to avoid any interaction for that reason. There's no hunting in the nearby area because the residential density restricts hunting. I'm sure I saved a few from starvation that winter.
