First one: Yes. Here they say doves in the city starve as people don´t come by and throw waste on the ground. Eeeek. Waste!! The second, oh, yes, respect the claws! But I´ve seen these animals, koalas and kangaroos, wallabies, can be gentle with them, too. Sadly too late. I was so afraid I might get hurt back then I cried for Ingo´s help!
The sign about the birds was near a restaurant by a lake, so I presume people would feed the birds, ducks, etc all sorts of unsuitable food too. I've only seen koalas at face level, so had never thought of them climbing over us.
The populations of such birds are controlled by the amount of food they can get. We humans should not feed them. Unless tame, koalas are dangerous animals.
Thanks Andrew, I had never thought of koalas as dangerous, they are smallish and cute, but I have seen their claws so I suppose they could do some damage.
Oh yes I've seen the claws on koalas up close but not too close 😀 Funnily I do feed the birds in my back garden but wouldn't dream of feeding them when we're out and about xox
Sami! Growing up, I really wanted to see Kangaroos and Koalas! the second sign reminds me of a photo of my Grandpa with a Koala on his shoulder, that was iconic to our family! My grandparents loved Australia and that was one of their last trips together before my Grandpa passed away last 2001. Though they had a lot of pictures from their trip with all the sheep and the beautiful scenes on Sydney :)

DeleteThe way humans disrupt natural balance.
ReplyDeleteQuite right SC.
DeleteThese are funny signs, specialy about the koala's
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne. I couldn't image a koala climbing over my arm, thinking it was a branch, lol.

Thanks Grace. I also feed the doves and magpies and have even bought crickets to feed the wagtails that come to our garden.
DeleteOkay then, if I see a koala this morning I won't extend my arm!
ReplyDeleteHope you find one on your daily bird watch walks David :)
Delete...no koalas here, but folks sure love to feed the birds! Thanks Sami for stopping by, take care and enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Tom :)
DeletePeople don't realize how deadly bread is to birds and ducks.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, it swells inside them. Thanks Jackie
DeleteLove the first sign the best.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
Thanks Sandee :)
DeleteNot sure why people do not understand that wild animals are not like domestic pets. Interesting set of signs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Taken for Granted. I think it's the nurturing instinct, but it doesn't always work.
DeletePeople seem to want to feed the birds no matter what you tell them!
ReplyDeleteTrue Pat, very naughty!

ReplyDeleteLovely memories of your grandparents. I hope you get to visit Australia one day and see the kangaroos and koalas :)
DeleteI love that the ducks and birds are going crazy!
ReplyDeleteIt's a funny sign for sure Jeanie :)
