remember to feed the birds

tuppence a bag

i've brought my own food for the birds, need to finish my sandwich first and them am offski

No better feeling inside than watching a grateful bird nibble on your nuts.

and they need water- not ice....

please include seagulls

was at my local park today, they are ravenous, masses of birds coming closer than they normally would, taking chances they dont normally just to try and find some food

agreed

I always feed my garden birds. Water is important too at this time of year.

i've got fat balls which the tits love

I put bread out a couple of days ago,bread now solid birds never touched it :(

Seriously, do birds find it very hard to find food in this weather?

If so, i'll start putting some out.

food and especially water

treble - yes indeed. I was feeding my garden friends today. There is nothing out there for them in these conditions.

they only eat hovis hearts, none of this mummys pride stuff :|

yep, bread no good for em, fills em up but no nutrition

there is nothing more rewarding than having tits flock around your nuts............expecting a swallow is foolish however

is it true that birds like fat that you have fried in when it as set or do you mix it with something ?

GAZO,Rub it into bread.High calorie fat is what's required at this time of year.

keep feeding those pheasants, get em nice and plump

keep any cooking fat you have used, put it in a bowl and mix it with seeds and bread, toll into balls, cool in the fridge and when set put them out for the birds

we sell birdfood an this weather is great for business as people come into buy bird food to help them. then in a cpl weeks they come back to buy the poison that kills rodents and traps etc. as they cant understand why they suddenly got a rodent problem.
oh an as they leave we sell em a bit more bird food

bamboo tried to steal this thread and make himself look good

Tesco, or one of the big supermarkets, said that its sales of wild bird seed is up 140%.

good

i've just been feeding it bread though
