What do you feed your birds?

supernova84

There is a bird who comes to my backdoor everyday and I give it some breadcrumbs. What do you feed your bird?

Red Hand

Donner kebab... for me burds.

kincsem

Sunflower seeds, nijer seeds, ground up peanuts, huskfree advance bird mix from Haiths.

wyndham

Custard Creams. They also like bourbons and chocolate hobnobs. Crush them up for them.
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing.
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

Mint Sauce

She can have a few of my curry chips if she is really lucky.

mfceiling

She just has the same dinner as the rest of us....maybe a bit of pork at the weekends

Bread is really bad for birds, it gives them fatty liver and their little digestive systems can't handle the additives.

Not that it's great for humans either but I won't open than can of worms. (pun!)

WumBuster

few ssusages and rashers then a taxi home

Scioch

Lead pellets.

marshbaboon

Insert generic joke about girlfriend here whilst thinking I'm totally hilarious and original.

Jokes on you...

I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!

Please kill me...

Hande hoche!

Really wouldn't go feeding them, our cats kill enough as is.

It's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know

ejmaztec

Sage and onion, it saves a lot of time later.

Mickey H

Usually peanuts or whatever's in the bag of bird food.

The King of Moo

Ever more elaborate lies, due to my double life as a mild-mannered chemistry teacher and family man / meth cook.

Fromthetrees

Small chunks of soft white fresh bread wrapped around thumb-tacks.

At the crack of dawn I awake and create 50 of theses beauties.

Go out to my 2nd floor balcony with my breakfast consisting of whiskey and woodbines.

It begins.

Pottler

All the Birds around here like Gin and big Cocks, apparently.

Fook them. Freeloading, delicate cunts.

Defiler Of The Coffin

I don't need to feed them anything, Robbie the Robin is always stealing from the dog.

Where To

Waldorf Salad.

Some posh birds round our way.

browner85

im old school ................. she feeds me!!!!

ScumLord

The back of my place is polluted with cats so I would only be luring the birds into certain death. I plan to move and set up challenges for crows to test their smarts.

Way to go, Father Jack!!!

Bird feed, i even give them a bath out the back too.

IvySlayer

Why feed them?

They should do their own damn foraging/hunting. :P In the winter? The smart birds fly to warmer climates, feeding birds in the winter would reward stupidity.

summerskin

Rohypnol.

fishy fishy

get one of those "seed balls" in a pet store, and hang it somewhere in your garden - they love eating the seeds from it - also, don't forget a little bowl of water for them.

I'm surprised that taxAHcruel hasn't posted in this thread yet.

Beefburgers for Swans, it helps them float.

Duggy747

The souls of children.

I try to get orphan souls, seems to agree with them better.

HazDanz

I feed the seagulls anything from my leftover dinner. I had a record 15 seagulls hovering outside last night waiting for a bite.

JupiterKid

I have a couple of bird feeders hanging from a tree in my back garden which I fill up with nuts and things.

A grey squirrel tries to get nuts from these feeders by climbing up the branches and hanging down batman style. It's gas to watch! :-D

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Bread Soda. In large quantites. It makes them explode. Fun for all the family. Failing that try calcium dicarbide.

Plazaman

Chicken and Duck Meat. The thoughts of forcing cannibalism on birds gives me a god complex.

Although they seem to be getting more aggressive as the weeks go by, I may have to terminate the experiment.

Galwayguy35

I feed them the loaf crusts, the crows and magpies always eat it on the smaller birds though.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

The" four sprung duck" technique is the best way to feed birds-

Line up four birds, one behind the other, beak to bum, feed the bird at the front, and ten minutes later the bird at the back gets fed too! :P

There's always one that tries to get more attention than the others by pulling a ferocious duckface though, I usually just land her with the "bill"! :rolleyes:

Pumpkinseeds

We feed them a mixture of birdseed, leftover veg and overripe fruit, when our cats are asleep, otherwise we'd be ringing the dinner bell for the cats.
