Tourists urged not to feed wildlife after spate of bin-diving kangaroo rescues. Wildlife rescuers in Victoria's Grampians region are reporting multiple cases of kangaroos getting their heads stuck in domestic kitchen bins and say it's because tourists are feeding them.

For some reason, my fevered imagination has conjured the visual of West Side Story as Roos vs Ibises, fighting over bin territory.

I like the bins in Australia
So much within them, Australia
I'll stick my head in, Australia
Why can't I get out, Australia

A fed animal is a dead animal.
