Re: I Am Feeding 'my' garden Birds Again.
The garden is alive all the time with squirrels, small birds, some pigeons. In the Autumn my favourite were two visiting Jays. So beautiful. They like peanuts and sunflower hearts but for some reason none of them like the mixed birdseeds much.11-01-2021, 02:44 AM

Re: I Am Feeding 'my' garden Birds Again.
I don’t put peanuts out because they get left and go mouldy which is bad for birds. We used to have a squirrel a few years back ( he liked the peanuts ) but he doesn’t come anymore.Yes the rooks jackdaws and crows come like a black cloud in large nos but they don’t eat the small seeds so the little birds come out once they are gone .
I also put out Niger seeds as I understand finches like them but they seem to get left .
Haven’t seen a jay for years .
