Please do not feed native animals

The native animals in this park have enough

 natural food to survive and thrive.

You might think that you are being kind to the native birds and animals by giving them your food scraps, but feeding them or leaving rubbish around that they might eat is cruel, not kind! 

Remember:

• Feeding animals can make them sick because sometimes our food contains ingredients that native cannot easily digest. They can become week and more likely to catch a Disease.
• The animals become used to being fed by people or finding food in rubbish. When this happens they can lose the ability to hunt and forage for themselves when they need to.
• Animals that rely on being fed by humans may become aggressive. They gather near areas of high human activity such as campsites and walking tracks. Animals have known to fight over food and bother people in the area.
• Feeding animals can encourage them to look for food in residential areas or nearby farms. This is dangerous for both the animals and residents.

Please be a friend to our native birds and animals.

 Take your food scraps and rubbish with you.
