Thanks, the birds at the Riverwalk are used to people - and they are always hopeful the people will ignore the "Do Not Feed" sign. The people who really care and think take cracked corn or birdseed (when I took my wife as part of photography lessons she took a quart ziploc of my premium bird feed - no stall bread.)
