WATCH: Mama bear takes bird seed lunch 'to go'

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — An Asheville resident became an unwitting take-out joint after a mother black bear climbed onto their porch and swiped their bird feeder.

WATCH: YOUNG BEARS LET THEMSELVES IN THE FRONT DOOR OF ASHEVILLE NURSING HOME

Albert Araujo sent in a video of the visit via Chime In. In the beginning, two cubs are climbing up the railings of the porch when the mama bear enters the frame on the right.

She immediately heads for the bird feeder, then stands on her hind legs to reach up and pull down the feeder with her paws.

She then saunters off, carrying her to-go lunch in her mouth.

As spring bear sightings increased this year, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission offered several tips to keep bears and humans safe.
