Hi,
I'm not very knowledgeable about wild birds yet.
So I am wondering about the geese.
Don't they pollute the water because there are so many of them and they are
so large which harms other animals?
Also wondering about starlings and house sparrows, in books there is always
talk about people who care about birds getting rid of them because they are
a threat to other more desireable and uncommon birds.
Are these birds a problem is certain areas or are they bad to have around
everywhere?
I have not seen any kind of problem with them here so far. Maybe if I
continue to feed birds they will prosper more than others and then I will
have a problem?
Thanks for the info.
