Is Every Sparrow In The Uk Here

[murraymints]

have restocked 3 Bird tables 3 Times today....trillions of sparrows, few robin's, tits and thrush.....can't keep them going...

[SlackAlice]

No, you haven't got them all, got the same problem here.

Robin has been quite belligerent demanding his/her fair share. Two turtle doves following me around like they were attached to me.

[humbersloop]

ta minty, just reminded me to check the feeder..

[boxtops]

I think you've got ours!

[sandyRoe]

That's good to hear. The birds in my garden are at risk from the neighbours cats.

[ummmm]

I can't feed them here because of the cat but I do go down the park and feed them.

[Iluvspikey]

Greedy little things! Can't blame them, I've got through over half of a 1kg bag of wild birdseed, they've demolished two fat-balls (about 2 and a 1/2 inches in diameter) two halves of fresh coconut and three containers of peanuts (that'll be the squirrel too, it's a myth they hibernate) since Tuesday. Have to get more supplies tomorrow from the Aquarium shop

[Barmaid]

Well I just took the waterfowl some corn, seeds and sultanas and they turned their beaks up at it. So now I've wedged a plastic plate in a tree which is inaccessible to the moggies and left it for the little birds.

[murraymints]

forgot to mention the fat balls and nut feeders....need to win lottery at this rate !

[murraymints]

thank goodness for COSTCO...

Do your neighbour's cats hunt then Sandy?

I have owned over a dozen cats over the years and only one of mine was a hunter.

[pusskin]

its been non stop here watching loads of robins and accasional bird eating uncooked porridge oats off the ledge near our window.
Keep clearing bits of snow away and restocking it.
When i say loads of robins, I mean just the two who are here every few minutes.So much fun to watch them x

[ummmm]

My cats a hunter. He brings them in alive.

[Barmaid]

Tbh the garden birds are probably quite safe from cats at the moment. Mine are limiting their visits to nip out and do what is necessary then back in to the nearest radiator.

[LoftyLottie]

I shall have to soon take a bank loan!! The birds are draining our financial resources.

[daffy654]

Willow used to do that ummmm, she also used to present me with live mice and voles.

[pusskin]

very few sparrows eating today. They've all decided to stay in the big bird bush next to where the two feeders are hanging!They must be freezing.

[humbersloop]

all's quiet round the feeder - yep, you must have them all minty

[sunny-dave]

Redwings & Fieldfares on the crab apple tree - loads of sparrers and tits on the feeder.

Plus one oddity which I'm about 90% sure was a female blackcap :)
