Please stop feeding the birds
Please stop feeding the birds
I’m just a visitor and I currently stay in Kapaa in a condo of Lae Nani. It is really beautiful and indeed a “nice corner,” which is “lae nani” in Hawaiian. I think it’s right that Kauai is very environmentally aware and also draws the attention of visitors to be careful.
Every day, when I go for a walk on the beach and pass the Islander on the Beach Resort, I see the signs not to feed the animals and birds. This is very good and works very well in most resorts as well. After all, the birds live in the tropics and get enough to eat. Even the chickens running around the island find enough to eat and are happy with that.
But next to the Islander on the Beach is the Lava Lava restaurant, which does not seem to get any of it, because every day a pile of corn kernels are spilled on the floor and large numbers of pigeons gather around it. I think that’s not correct.
Is there a way to influence the restaurant to change its behavior?
