Loveland City Council green-lights further study of marijuana dispensaries

Wildlife Window: If you feed wild birds, you need to clean your birdfeeders

DEB DZ >> Waiting to hear from Don Overcash how dirty bird feeders are the mayor’s fault.

JAN LEMAY >> Feeding wildlife, even birds, is never a good idea. It does the animals more harm than good. In some municipalities bird feeders are illegal because they harm birds. In Loveland, it’s illegal to let your cats outside because they kill birds. Maybe it’s time the city council bans bird feeders for the same reasons.
