Would Wild Birds Eat Grapes If They Were Left Out In...

...the garden?

I know Blackbirds eat apples, but then they recognise them as food.

It seems that the answer is 'yes', sandyRoe:

Pinot Noir might suit.

Birds can be pretty smart, they will check out the Grapes and decide if they are food (or not).

When I put out a birdfood containing nuts, seeds and raisins (dried grapes) the raisins are left until the last, - they do eventually go, but they are not a popular bird food.

Try one and see - your local birds may be that sophisticated 🤣

Birds naturally seek high fat( high energy) foods so grapes although taken are a poor substitute for nuts, seeds, and suet based foods.

I've put some out.  They'll complement the fat balls and peanuts.

Variety is the spice of life.

My French vine produces 50-60 Kg of grapes each year, but they do not produce decent wine that keeps, so I let the local wildlife feast away. They are taken by birds, wasps, hornets, butterflies, lizards (the grapes that fall) and God knows what else.

English birds on a bird table, I just don't know - perhaps the English fatty stuff might be more to their taste.

I saw a Blackbird picking at them this morning.
