Good morning, fabbbers, friends and forumites.

Heavens what a delightful morning. Its cold and crisp spiffing for a good ramble over the hills and through the woods here.

I know we have asked this of you before .

Before we wander out we will fill up our bird feeders. We have twenty !!

Our amazing feathered friends fill our gardens with song and colour.

So chums we are asking , in this chilly snap we seem to be having dont forget to help the wild birds .

The pleasure we get from them is amazing. The variety of birds in the garden is vast. From cheeky robins to brightly coloured Jays. Song filled black birds to busy wagtails.

Have a wonderful day chums we will

Hurahh to you all

It's so cold that all us ladies might have blue tits.

I don't feed the birds, as I don't want my cats to eat them, otherwise I would.

That's one of the things I miss about living out in the country, I used to have quite a big garden with several trees including apple, pear, cherry & plum, and had quite a few feeders which attracted lots of feathered friends

Living in the city centre, all I seem to see is pigeons & crows

I sometimes go to the River Derwent and feed the ducks, geese & swans though

I love living in the country , its great you can pop down to feed the ducks and swans . Its important towns and cities have wild places too .

Regular bird feeder here. As well as the birds you would normally expect we have Spotted Woodpeckers that are living locally and feed all day and Long Tailed Tits that come in a flock of 8 - 12 birds. When it gets colder, we have Yellow Hammers coming in from the chalk fields and Reed Buntings coming in from the near-by river. My food comes from a number of sources. Suet cakes come from a lovely guy from the local market. I get the regular square ones but I also get round ones that I can tie to the roof of the tables so that birds that prefer to stand on the flat while feeding get a chance! Mealworms come from Range and I occasionally get seed from a nearby auction courtesy of my brother-in-law. Costs me a fortune but well worth it!

Oh I've got a garden full of tits, I love 'em!! Plus regular visits from 2 robins, a jay, a woodpecker, some nuthatchers, and a parakeet. The blackbirds and thrushes and wood pigeons like to clear up the ground under all the feeders

I love watching the birds in the garden, two reasonably common birds stand out as beautiful to me.

Fieldfare and Goldfinch.

I have fat balls out there and bread, but I'm certain the fat balls haven't been touched!

Every morning I throw some bread out. I'm not too great with my knowledge in birds, but I have seen pigeons, blackbirds, starling, robin and some little tiny birds (finch maybe?).

I read somewhere once that if feeding bread, in cold weather, then to soak it in fat first.

Love birds, always have. From going to feed the ducks with my late grandad, to watching them flock around the bird fountain as a kid in my grandparents garden.

Have always said that when I have the space, I'm going to have a aviary

It's nice to feed the birds but with twenty bird feeders I'd be very worried hanging the washing out in your garden

There are some fat balls that the birds will not touch! See my comments on B&Q suet cakes! Seems most of your birds prefer to stand on level ground whilst feeding so hanging fat balls up won`t help them.

One final thing is that most bird organisations don`t recommend feeding bread, certainly not in large quantities. Have a look at the RSPB website for information!

I've found the birds I feed love the cheap seed/fat balls I buy from pound land

But ignore the expensive ones from pets at home.

Do a mixture of feeding on floor and hanging feeders only works as no cats about.

Bird lovers should feed wild birds the same stuff KFC give to the 35 day old chickens that end up in their chicken burgers,,,

Although giant sparrows the size of golden eagles would do huge poo's though...

Always feeding them. Have had a kestrel stay over a few times - he gives the others the jitters. Last week a sparrowhawk decided to stop in for a meal - not sure which bird it was eating but the hawk looked very healthy. We have lots of barn and other owls out at night, which are great to hear - though our bat numbers are down.
