Campus Notices
There have been a few incidents on campus recently where crows have swooped individuals in what we assume is an attempt to obtain food. Members of the campus community are reminded to refrain from feeding birds and other wildlife such as foxes.
While birds and other wildlife might seem hungry, feeding them just isn't a good idea. Here's why:
1. 鈥淧eople鈥� food isn鈥檛 good for animals.
2. It makes wild animals lose their natural fear of people and they can become a nuisance.
3. Wild animals who depend on people for food can cause injuries or spread disease.
Thank-you for your co-operation!
