A Flock Of Chaffinches Or Sparrows Is Coming To The Feeders In The Garden.

[sandyRoe]

How would the first bird that came across the food have communicated to its mates that there was food available?

[Tilly2]

Because it's a flock. They do things together.

[Frank97]

It would have used Twitter I'd have thought.

[Tilly2]

Sorry, Sandy. I see your question says 'how', not 'why'. So my answer doesn't make sense.

[Svejk]

sent out flyers?

[Tilly2]

I am quite concerned that you don't know the difference between a sparrow and a chaffinch, Sandy. Can we help in any way?

[jno]

do chaffinches and sparrows talk to each other, Tilly?

[Tilly2]

I think they do, jno. In my garden it's, 'Oi get off that feeder. It's mine!'

[sandyRoe]

A few have the distinctive plumage of Chaffinches but most are just wee dun coloured birds.

You must have been 'trilled' to see such a thing in Belfast ;-)
