Make sure you feed the birds this winter.

What's good to feed them?

Bread crumbs
Sunflower seeds
Fat Balls
Fruit
Peanuts
Cereals

And they need water.

I usually give them seeds and fat balls.

Some mealworms too now and then.

i go out each day at 10 and my wee Robin is over like a flash, I gave him seeds. He was in the garage with me today as i sorted through boxes and he has been in the house. He has had seed out my hand twice. The big Pidgeon waits on the shed roof and then tucks in when im gone as does the wren.

when i have spare bread the magpie and the crow comes down.

Put some fat balls out yesterday as frost was forecast and broke the ice in the bird baths, will refill the water later
