Episode Details

Feeding wildlife in New Jersey? Think twice—laws vary by species. No feeding black bears; first offense gets a warning, repeat violations could cost you up to $1,000 per day. Deer? Don’t feed them—risk disease spread, overpopulation, and loss of natural fear of humans. Stray cats? Feeding one might legally make you its owner, with all that entails: licensing and vaccinations. Birds are the exception—but only if you follow strict rules: feed during daylight Dec 1–Apr 1, keep feeders 10 feet high and 10 feet from trees, clean up spills daily, and avoid attracting bears. Your bird feeder shouldn’t become a bear buffet.
