aliceBB Â Â 10 #5 Posted October 28, 2014 The birds in our garden are getting seriously picky about what they will and won't eat. Bread, Yorkshire pudding, bacon rinds, lumps of lard, fine. Anything they consider to be 'foreign muck' (lasagne, couscous, rice, croissants, enchilladas), they tend to kick off the bird table in disgust. Â Secret UKIP supporters/Daily Mail readers, I reckon.

Thorpist   72 #9 Posted October 29, 2014 Is it due to the sparrow hawk that we have hardly seen a song bird all summer? Mealworms ,fat ball and sunflower seeds all get left. I tried putting food near to the hedge for protection with no success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

scousemouse   10 #11 Posted December 30, 2014 I have 'picky' birds too!! They will only eat the sunflower hearts, not the wild bird food mix. I have hanging feeders as I also have mapies, greedy things, I can't put food out for the ground feeders as the big birds scoff the lot! I feed the blackbirds early morning, they seem to get up before the others!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
