(Ashland, OR) -- Residents of Ashland are being warned to avoid accidentally feeding bears. As bears come out of hibernation, they're hungry and fruits and berries aren't available, so bears look for other sources of food. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Ashland Police are warning residents to secure garbage cans, barbecue grills, bird feeders and pet food that will attract bears. In some cases, hungry bears will break into homes, cars, and sheds looking for food.
