We have loads of Carrion crows (they crack me up, they’re so funny), sparrows and robins around by us so we often put out seeds and balls for them. Occasionally we’ll throw out bread crusts if stale, but not too often as it’s not the best thing for them.
…I do, yes…and when they nest their, I provide free childcare while mom and dad go about their adult bird working day…it’s funny how they become part of our families for a little while..
…Robins are the funniest, they take no nonsense from even the much bigger birds and it’s most definitely THEIR garden that they’re just allowing us the use of…I love how whenever you’re doing anything, they’ll sit there watching it and checking it all out to make sure they approve any changes…:laugh:…

Yes we feed them everyday, have a birdtable for them. It's lovely to watch them from the kitchen window.

No but me and my sister low-key rescued one from the garden one time when I was a pre.-teen, for what it’s worth.

I have a robin who comes into the garden whenever I'm out there....it is so brave and cheeky. I always think it's my mum coming to visit
I used to feed the birds but the cheeky grey squirrels used to pinch it all....plus they were stripping the bark off my trees where I hung the fat balls.
