Please Don't Feed The Birds!
The City of Orillia is working to improve beach water quality and our waterfront parks. You can help! Please don't feed the birds (ducks, gulls, geese or swans)
- Bird droppings can be a potential health hazard
- Feeding can attract many birds, resulting in excessive bird droppings in the sand, grass and water
- Excessive bird droppings reduces water quality
- Birds fed by hand lose their fear of humans and can become aggressive
- Birds that feed on scraps do not eat a natural diet and can become less healthy or dependent on people
- Birds that receive scraps tend to stay in their winter habitat longer and not migrate south.
Please dispose of food scraps in waste containers provided.
