Black bears feasting on garbage, bird feeders on Oregon Coast

Oregon Seal Oil Company - Oregon State Fish Wildlife Service says that up to eight black bears have changed the garbage cans and bird feed boxes in the Seal Rock area into buffets.

Jason Kirchner, a wildlife biologist in the ODFW region, says: "If you are interested in a bear, do not eat it, do not listen to neighbors." A nasty bear holds for public safety. "

Remove all food attractants. Please do not leave food. The bear is a familiar creature, returning to the place I used to find food.

Do not feed birds, remove all feed boxes including the hummingbird feeder box, and do not remove species from the ground. In areas with bear problems ODFW recommends not feeding birds.

Please put the garbage in the house or in the garage and put it on the outside before garbage collection.

If you have washed the trash can before, wash the can with hot water and bleach or ammonia to remove the smell.

Consider three inexpensive electric fences as an easy way to stop fruit trees, compost mountains, honeycombs, and trash cans.

Attacking attacks are rare, such as killing all black bears. In remote areas where exposure to bear people is the least, they are usually predatory attacks that are not triggered. Bears visiting camp sites, bird feed boxes, and trash boxes have been in contact with people so far, but they rarely kill. In North America, an average of 750,000 Japanese black bears die each year, and in North America one in 16 thousand people commits a murder each year.

In 2017, about 500 claw bears were destroyed in BC State due to the collision between people and bears. Most, if not all, of these bears associate the human or human environment with food. The image that appears to the head is a bear that is broken through an unprotected trash can, but simple things such as bird feeder box, fruit tree, unmanned pet food, etc. can bind bear urban environment and food There is sex.

Garbage should be properly managed, but garbage is not necessary sperm for the spread of Asian black bear. Therefore, it is necessary to put in garbage and it is necessary to reduce the number of Asian black bears. In this special case, garbage is not just a good old mulberry tree. Never seen mulberries or cherry trees, there is absolutely no way to clean them from the ground like apples and pears, the black bear picks them up in the mulberry limbs only
