littlefish 598 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 The weather here is shocking - snow and ice everywhere! As usual I have been putting food out for the birds - seed mix, peanuts, fat balls, old cheese and scraps etc. There are still lots of birds in the garden but they don't seem to be eating the food I put out - my neighbour throws out stale bread for them, they seem to be choosing this over the food in my garden. In this extreme weather I am really considering starting to put out bread for them, something I never do because I always thought it was not as nutritious for them, but in this cold weather it might help to keep them going? Is anyone elsse finding this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tis TM 8 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Nope - my feeders are covered this morning, even saw the Bull Finch who I only get to see about once a year. I would stick to your guns with your other food, but maybe just include some brown bread in your selection.... Remember to provide a water source for them too... I've been defrosting and refilling my bird bath nearly every day for about 2 weeks now!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
