A timely reminder Bill I won't forget though I no longer feed birds in the garden because it attracts rats (I have seen them going to next doors intricate bird feeder) .
Instead when I go down the field with my dog each day I take lots of food and spread it on a tree trunk and the fence
My partner usually ties a half coconut to the washing ropes, the birds have a great time with it. If it's a hard winter I put the fat balls up on the ropes too.
