    I would say this is a case of Xenophobia, an irrational fear of strangers.

    Xenophobia

    People with xenophobia experience significant, sudden anxiety and distress when they are around strangers. They often go out of their way to avoid seeing, interacting with, or even thinking about strangers. This type of avoidance can negatively affect major aspects of day-to-day life. For example, someone with xenophobia may find it hard to function normally at work or in social situations.[3]






  • Here is some of the important stuff from the article.

    Rather than feeding ducks bread, bird enthusiasts can instead offer them treats like:

    Halved grapes (be sure to cut them in half to prevent choking)

    Cracked corn

    Thawed frozen peas

    Barley

    Oats

    Birdseed

    Duck pellets

    Even with these healthier snacks, Norris says it’s still important to only feed ducks in moderation. If the birds, especially the ducklings, become reliant on people for their food, they may stop foraging or engaging in their other natural behaviors.

    “You don’t need to bring a whole bag of seed, a whole bag of grapes,” Norris says, “You don’t want to just throw a whole bunch of stuff at them.” Instead, a handful of snacks should suffice.

    This is the first time I’ve been alerted to a GDPR related issue. Is this becoming a common issue for people in the EU?
