The ground feeding of birds, cats, squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, skunks, deer, ducks or any other wild animals is prohibited in order to prevent rodent infestation, disease from feces, and a public nuisance from droppings. "Ground feeding" is defined as the spreading, casting, laying, depositing or dumping of feed including, but not limited to, birdseed, corn, bread pieces, food scraps or any like or similar substance, on any public or private property in the village. Aboveground hanging bird feeders are allowed as long as all feed is placed in a container or feeder designed for the specific purpose of feeding birds. (Ord. 1593, 5-26-2004)
