GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Feeding The Birds
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 19 2012, 11:06 AM
During last night's video chat, I could see AK Rich's back yard (sort of back yard) which was covered in snow. I spied a bird table which led me to asking Rich the all important question: So, do you feed the birds ?
I was satisfied to discover that he take his role very seriously and he does feed the birds.
Birds rock and they need to be fed. I take my role very seriously and I get dismayed when I see the bird food is getting low so I have to pester my gf to put some more on the shopping. 
Who feeds the birds ?

I do, kind of. We don't have a good place at home to feed birds, but at a recreation area nearby.
And yes, birds do rock.

I don't but this is a really good idea... I would like to start doing it.
By the way, birds use to steal my dog's food...

I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous well-being (parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it (parklife)

I've fed birds in my old living place, but the new one has no proper place to do so. So now only birds I feed are ducks in the local park

We put a lot of bread out and such, of course our dogs really likes to get that bread just because they're jealous and doesn't want the birds to have it , but yeah I think it is important to feed the birds! , they seem like nice animals and doesn't bother me, so they get a thumb up!

WE feed all birds at wintertime with sunflower cores and some fat around together its like a ball in a net and comfortable to hang it on the trees so the birds are safe from cats.

I feed this one daily.
She is a Military Macaw. We have had her for about 20 years (they can live to be 70).
We got her as a young bird. She was still yellow (chick feathers) when we got her.

That is a beatiful bird. I have an amazon. He likes getting fed daily too.

We live in south east Queensland which is a paradise for thousands of birds. We have a bird bath because it is so dry here at the moment but there is no need to feed them. Our chooks are 3 months old in the video and they're loving our veggie garden.

They look like a few silver laced and gold laced wyandottes. Got a few of the silver myself, and about 40 all together.
I do like to feed the birds got a few here a woodpecker that visits and a heron too. But there is one bird that's being fed at the moment which will feed me in a few days, the good ol christams turkey, being fattened at the moment at my uncle's farm, till tomorrow
