Years ago another photographer reprimanded me for "baiting" wildlife (I had set out some nuts for a red squirrel). It made me hesitant to use food to attract birds, until I got back home.
I recently started that discussion about attracting squirrels for photography vs. "catching them on the fly" in the squirrel thread.
I wasn't making judgments just stating the obvious that some photos reflected the former method as opposed to the latter method
I did mention the problem of providing food and then perhaps not providing food.
It wasn't well received by some.
I wonder what an expert, if there is one, might say about providing "natural" food, food the animal would find on its own in the locale vs. other food (processed peanut butter, peanuts and apples seem popular)
