                          Nēnē seeking handouts from humans may 
                          enter into dangerous situations. They will approach 
                          a human in a moving vehicle, or a human in a backyard 
                          with a dog. Both the automobile and the dog can kill 
                          the nēnē. 3. 
                          Human food contains fat, which is not a normal part 
                          of the nēnē diet. Too much fat, sweets, 
                          and other food items, can compromise the health of nēnē. 
                           4. 
                          Dense bird populations attracted to food handouts increase 
                          the chance of the nēnē contracting disease 
                          and parasites, which may harm the nene.  5. 
                          Food scraps may attract rodents and other nuisance animals 
                          into the area.  Mahalo
