THE National Parks and Wildlife Service has reminded the public not to feed native wildlife, both for the welfare of the animals and so they do not become pests.
“Cockatoos in particular have been reported damaging verandahs and eaves and in some cases it appears residents or their neighbours have been feeding the birds,” NPWS Ranger for the Nowra Area Alex Deura said.
“In urban areas, kangaroos can become a traffic hazard and they also may become quite aggressive, especially if their food supply stops.”
