Important Reminder: Please Do Not Feed Waterfowl
The SPLA Board would like to remind all residents to please refrain from feeding any waterfowl, including Geese, around Shaker Pines Lake. While it may seem like a kind gesture, feeding them often does more harm than good for several reasons:
• Health Risks: Many human foods are nutritionally poor or even harmful to birds.
• Dependency: Feeding makes waterfowl lose their natural fear of humans and become dependent on us for food, which is detrimental to their survival.
• Property Concerns: While some enjoy the birds in their yard, others do not. Geese don't distinguish between properties; if they approach a pet or small child looking for food, it can lead to aggressive encounters or accidental harm to the birds.
• Lake Health: An overpopulation of waterfowl is hard on our ecosystem. CT DEEP and pond management experts have recommended limiting the bird population to protect the lake’s water quality and overall health.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep Shaker Pines Lake healthy and safe for everyone.
Thank you,
The SPLA Board
