BIRD FEEDING
Re: BIRD FEEDING
On an American tv prog t'other day I saw a guy ( ) in the process of hanging a drinker for wild birds.
Can't find it on Google but it appeared to be an inverted bottle screwed to a base. The base was the interesting part - it resembled two saucers, one upside down so the whole thing looked like a sort of flying saucer. The top 'saucer' had about 5 holes therein around the rim, which prevented the liquid (which was red ) from becoming contaminated.
Obviously, we have saucer-like drinkers here but haven't seen one with this clever addition of the inverted saucer with holes.

Ah, yes. Think you are correct, Willpar.
I s'pose h/birds are so common in USA that it wasn't necessary to refer to the gadget.

Re: BIRD FEEDING
This week has seen a noticeable drop in the amount of food being taken. I am still getting a few of all the usual suspects but clearly I am entering the moulting period when demand drops until Autumn is in full swing.

Re: BIRD FEEDING
I hope thats the reason for the drop in demand here too, its been twice now that all birds have disappeared from my garden, ALL of them . They came back after a day or two last time (not long ago) and today they are gone again. All the food is just sitting there and the garden looks empty

Shut the back door and keep `em in the garden You must have inherited mine which have now thinned out after a very busy fledging season.Willpar wrote:Lots of juvenile starlings here eating me out of house and home.
Re: BIRD FEEDING
A bunch of starlings came to have some lunch today and they looked so different with some parts of their bodies covered with new feathers, their trademark white spots , while some parts were still with old grey/brown/pale colour. They looked so odd and so funny .
Kept really quiet which was so unusual, had some food quickly and then one of them said "Urk" . I guess that was "lets go" because they all flew away
