Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't feed the wildlife.

It may seem harmless, but it can lead to overpopulation, dependency on human food, pollution, and even the spread of disease.

That's why local authorities sometimes issue fines, often around €50, for feeding animals in parks or along waterways.

The best way to enjoy them is to watch respectfully, follow posted rules, and help keep these beautiful creatures healthy and wild.
