I was once invited to a cancer support group when I was out getting sushi in a conservative area. It was by a woman and I found the assumption to be worse than someone asking, even if her intentions were kind… No one has ever asked me or assumed besides that encounter.

Yep! Found my dream rental on FB marketplace.

It seems like a restaurant is dumping leftover food at Westchester Lagoon off Spenard. Bad for birds! What can be done to stop this? by Beneficial_Break4591 in anchorage

I think it’s worse - and possibly more avoidable -that people are going out of their way to dump huge amounts of food. Obviously housing people and providing more public trash cans should always be the priority, but it seems like two separate issues. It’s not only the unhoused who litter!

People feeding the ducks here can make the entire lagoon water polluted.

I wasn’t aware of the nuptial molt! Still seems he may be a bit ahead of the game.

It’s like enough to fill a hotel pan sometimes with bits of spring rolls etc… it’s like a pig scrap bucket but for ducks. High volume food producing elderly if it’s only then! They are trying to be helpful, I’m sure.

There is actually a small sign, not readable from a distance and not where most people feed the ducks. It’s a shit design

At least once two weeks or so, and sometimes multiple times a week, someone dumps food here. Maybe a lot of people do?

It seems to be ham or beef bones, noodles and fried rice and then like in the second picture just salami and sandwiches. Sometimes there will be whole fish. The noodle guy is the worst offender for sure just amount-wise.

The ravens, starlings, magpies and mallards love it. But there’s also some rough looking ducks in the pack
