ICBW but I think you need a licence to feed kites and such. I know that a
feeding station in Mid-Wales has a licence and they can only put out meat
fit for human consumption. Also there are rules about feeding offal and
meat not for human consumption to working dogs meaning that birds aren't
supposed to be able to get at it.


How utterly bureaucratic and ridiculous! Kites are scavengers, and
don't have trouble with carrion. Hawks, on the other hand, may well
need fresh meat.
