Don't Feed the Birds

There's a whole lot of really goo reasons not to feed wild birds, I'm no expert but I gather pretty much anything we give them isn't good for them (unless you have a supply of lizards, snakes and insects?) and even if it was you don't want them dependent on you. You just aren't always going to be there.
But its the third reason you don't want to feed them that is strongest in my mind.
The Great Ocean Road is beloved my tourists and locals alike, the latter in droves over Christmas. So there I am post the Christmas rush when the birds had been well fed...and now hungry.
No fewer than six Kookaburras planned a calculated attack (I have seen rosellas and parrots landing on hands and shoulders but never kookaburras!). they waited until we had got our steaks down to half the size (they had eyed off on the BBQ and clearly decided they were too much) and then swooped! Glad I got my first half of that steak! I felt like I was in an Alfred Hitchcock movie...
