"Under normal conditions, the rule of thumb is that you don’t feed
wildlife. Feeding can cause problems including; familiarity which is
contrary to natural wariness and independence; disruption of natural
hunting or foraging behaviour; spread of disease when too many animals
are congregating in one place, causing an increase in one or more
species to the detriment of others; and inappropriate food which can
have many negative effects on wildlife. So, while feeding wildlife
would not normally be recommended, the current situation calls for
different action. Extreme drought and catastrophic fires are putting
unusually high pressures on our wildlife."
