I added a couple of sentences to the Types of Feeders section. To clarify one of the benefits of providing a variety of feeder types and bird food. Judy C. 17:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism section needs work

The bold-face "not beneficial" is a little over the top, and that section needs to be formally sourced. You can't go about impugning something that people take as much joy from as bird feeding without backing it up. Unless, of course, you are one of those people who likes to suck the joy out of everything. --Jaysweet (talk) 20:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Lots of people find joy in tearing up the landscape with off-road vehicles, clear-cutting mountainsides so they can experience gravity with two boards strapped to their feet, or driving monstrous, gas-guzzling pickup trucks because they like the look of them. If you would care to read the articles mentioned in the very next paragraph, you would have all the backup you need and more. But something tells me that no amount of backup or, in this case, common sense is going to convince you that self-gratification is not always the priority. Please leave the wildlife management to the biologists who actually know something about ecology. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.159.225.183 (talk) 12:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
