Bird Feeders Are Drawing Bears to Your Yard | Anchorage News
Description
Bears are invading neighborhoods—thanks to bird feeders acting like fast-food buffets. One feeder can feed a bear for days, and they’re scarfing it down in minutes, making them bolder and more likely to break into yards. A recent attack on a woman by a mother bear and her cubs? Yep, her bird feeders were the trigger. Experts urge removing feeders April 1st until November, securing trash and pet food, and staying bear-aware: travel in groups, make noise, carry bear spray. If you spot a bear, stay calm, back away slowly, or stand your ground and speak calmly if it sees you. Report any encounters to Fish and Game—your safety and theirs depend on it.
