I think the point being that if the bird is that bad off, a re-habber or wildlife expert should be called.  Some times our best intentions are not the ideal solution.  And feeding any bird in a road not a great idea.  I often wondered what harm or good basic bird feeders do and honestly I am torn on that.

Oh, and death by starvation is not detrimental to it's health.

If someone feeds an owl a few mice and the owl subsequently makes it
through the winter that it would not have survived I say, More power to
them."

We should ask the owl which he or she prefers.
