Description
People continue to feed seagulls here. Usually out of state plates. People may not see them much think its entertaining . Sometimes people from island countries think feed Ling raccoons and ducks and seagulls is good but they are harming wet lands and the species them selves and drawing birds. It's a police and board of health enforcement thing as well st the billing street one ita usually around lunch and late dinner. An elderly women on south shore was fined st her own home for feeding ducks and guests and charged at one point so feeding them is a mental illness part of the brain. It triggers some form of gratitude perhaps People who feed there dogs or do not have pets. It's really a serious problem the birds tied everywhere too
