The ABA code of ethics is pretty clear (see Sec 2(b)) about violating rules and regulations, which in this case seem to prohibit the feeding of animals in the park. Maybe the park rule in question is "dumb" (and I'm inclined to agree), but it's a rule all the same, and until it is changed I am a bit uncomfortable seeing rule-breaking being advocated in this way. I much prefer Paul Hurtado's approach of constructive engagement (which would indeed be real forward progress here) as opposed to encouraging selfish rule-breaking as some kind of official or even unofficial CFO policy. We have to remember that we are all ambassadors for birding, and that it's occasions like this where we can show non-birders that we are willing to share resources responsibly.
