Wee Lil Birdies

[spathiphyllum]

Can i send out a reminder, to look after the wee little birdies now it's cold and frosty. This time of year it can be hard for them to find food. Nuts, seeds and suet balls are literally perfect. Anything fat rich to try help keep them warm.

You angels :)


I have a pocket of seed which i sprinkle about whilst doing my runs.

Porridge oats and grated cheese as well. My blackbirds love them.
Always feed them first in the mornings all year round.

My feeder levels are sinking fast!
Must get some more, to keep em topped up.
Cheers- Chip.

And water!

We bulk buy our feed to cater for the varying tastes. I think we are up to 50 different types now!

Peanuts, Niger,mixed seed and mealworms plus I take suitable leftovers to the park.

‘My’ goldfinches are getting through two feeders of sunflower hearts a day at the mo.
Also have a seed mix, fat balls, raisins and dried mealworms.
Really enjoy all the birds.

Rowan you're not allowed to say that word anymore ;)

I feed the birds sunflower hearts and get loads of goldfinches and blue tits on my bird feeders. I tried Nyger seed but they didn't bother with it at all.

[spathiphyllum]

They're the seeds that look very similar if not identical to sunflower seeds?

[hellywelly4]

They aren't sunflowers without the shells on, so less mess.

We have two cats so, reluctantly, cannot feed the birdies in our garden.

[spathiphyllum]

You can use the birds to feed the cats though ;) (I kid I kid)

[SparklyKid]

Before we had out two cats I loved feeding them. The best was in Spring when mummy sparrow sat on the fence, took seeds out of feeders and fed the chicks, quite delightful.

[spathiphyllum]

They are fascinating animals to just sit and watch :)

[SparklyKid]

The last time I put out a fat ball I got this.

I feed the birds all year round, I find they come a lot more at nesting time and again when it gets very cold in the winter, but they do come all year round. Right now I'm feeding them nuts, coconut feeders with suet and mealworms and putting mealworms on the ground as well.
