A black bear sauntered into a Coquitlam, B.C. backyard Sunday – heading straight for a hummingbird feeder hanging from a tree.
The North Shore Black Bear Society, in a warning last year, described hummingbird feeders as "energy drinks for bears" and powerful attractants that can bring them into residential neighbourhoods.
"Black bears are agile climbers and some bears will even climb onto a deck or roof of a house to reach for the sugary treat of a suspended feeder," the"Once a bear finds a food source/energy drink in the neighbourhood, they will be encouraged to stay and look for more easy calories, which is a death sentence for a black bear in B.C."
However, it's not just these feeders that are discouraged during bear season. Others that contain nuts and seeds are also sources of easy calories for hungry bears, according to Bear Smart Durango.
