Watch: Man ‘scolds’ bear after it tries to steal food from bird feeder

As the bear gets hold of the feeder, a man standing on a balcony, yells at the animal. “What are you doing? No. No”, and tells  the bear to climb down.

After some time the bear climbs down.

While many who came across the video suggested the man should take the feeder down, others suggested means to keep bears away from it. Take a look at some of the reactions here:

Get a bear feeder.

Don’t have a bird feeder in bear country.

“Don’t fall off. But down!”

Don’t put bird feeders out in summer. Birds have enough food and the feeders are bear magnets no matter how high you string them.

If you’re in bear country, don’t leave ANY food around: dog/cat food, chickens must be secured and NO BIRDFEEDERS. “A fed bear is a dead bear”.

I would suggest you not put any bird seed out during the summer months when the bears are all out since you seem to live and their neighborhood
