    If I withdrew feeding, the birds that once survived naturally in this area would be gone. No longer can they feed on an abundance of seed in the wild. Pasture land here is now devoid of much of the foods birds enjoyed for millennia. My garden woodland is a now scarce source of food and shelter. My birdtable is not an easy option; it is one of very few options remaining. They are not totally dependent on my feeding, as weekly counts at times of bumper availability of natural foods locally shows, but their long term survival is certainly enhanced by it.

    All fair points, which I suppose would apply to most garden, and many rural, situations. I live on the edge of a tract of wild native woodland, so it's a bit different for me.
