unlike the inhabitants of the cages to the wild inhabitants of the parks, warn of Mospeada. In spring and summer animals and birds are able to find their food, joining in the food chain of the ecosystems of natural areas.
“Unreasonable feeding wild animals to anything good does not. Such actions on the part of man only dulls the natural instincts of animals and put them in dependence. Wean animals to look for food on their own, dulled the instinct of self-preservation. The mass accumulation leads to the rapid spread of species of infections and diseases from which animals are killed”, — experts say.
Especially negatively it affects the birds that over-feeding can not select the future breeding. Because of the abundance of food sources initially, it may seem to them suitable to build a nest, but invertebrates required for rearing offspring, it may not be enough. To survive in the feeding period, Chicks need to be a natural and diverse food. And the grown Chicks must learn to forage independently. Getting used to available feed at the trough and not gaining mining skills in the nature of such birds in the future is likely to die.
Feeding wild animals can lead to serious diseases or to make them dependent. For example, foxes stop, caution and go to the people.

So, for hares will suit dry hay, oats with the addition of a small amount cut into slices of carrots, apples and cabbage leaves. The whites will be happy with the suggested nuts and acorns.
