I love the sound of the birds in my garden, even if they do think 4am is a good time to get up
and I have 2 resident Robins who are bold little cuties.
So ... I have a table right outside my kitchen window where I can enjoy watching them. I put all sorts on there, including leftovers, as birds like a wide variety of foodstuff and if they can fly all over the world they're old enough to decide what to eat and what not to eat.
I put uneaten and old bits of fruit, crackers, biscuits & crisps that have gone stale, left cat food, the 'crumbs' in cereal bags amongst other things. I also sometimes make bird food cakes. The cat food goes very quickly and while other stuff disappears I'm sometimes not sure which bird likes what or whether it's just the wind
Well, this morning a Magpie was frequenting the bird table, flying off with great gusto when I went by the kitchen window, but then I caught him. He was nipping back to steal the prawn crackers
Maybe Magpies spend many months visiting China
Anyone else know which birds prefer what on their tables
