Put some water out

and stray cats too.

if the stray cats eat the birds down at the water bowl they will be spitting feathers

Spitting Feathers is a cask ale, very nice too.

brewery rather.

Birds can fly to water.
Cats can feck right off.

I have a water-dispenser for birds.  I have never seen a bird drink from it.
My roof is covered with pigeons waiting for food.  They have trained me to put out seed on demand (coo coo coo).

The birds don't drink from the diuspenser because there claws are too small to put the coin in!

I hope this is of assistance!

we have a water feature type thing in back garden sometimes have it on love the sound of pouring water but noticed when its off so many birds come along for a bath, great to see

Hedgehogs are dying due to a lack of water. Use a shallow tray/saucer and help save them.

Good advice and certainly not milk.

I found a sparrows leg and a bit of a wing on my garden path today (I bet its not off to see the king thats for sure)
Nature is hell, I dont like to think what goes on when Im not looking

RIP little sparrow.

Time to repeat my advice.

I know some on here can't grasp the concept of predators but hedgehogs are dying due to an excess of badgers!!!!   Putting water or milk out is good though.

Not milk,  as it can cause diarrhoea for hedgehogs and cats are lactose intollerant.

A stray cat has appeared in my garden at night. It was frightened at first but after 6 weeks of patience and feeding from distance, I have built up some trust with it and it comes right up to me now and eats out of my hand. It was very thin and hungry but it looks a lot healthier now.

Ah, well dome mate. Are you going to keep it? Would be great company for the Captain. I'm assuming he lives with you.

Cat needs checking for micro-chip.

Had a large saucer of water out for the birds for a couple of weeks now, attracts
A few pidgeons,jackdaws, and blackbirds.some just have a drink whilst others will jump straight in for a flap about. !!

I was feeding my hanging baskets, from a watering can, and the flow suddenly stopped!

Took off the rose and something was poking out of the nozzle.....

Pulled and pulled and thought it would never stop!

It was a starling fledgling, that had been extruded to probably twice it's normal length......

Oh no!
