I agree with you 100%.

It seems the RSPB think if you feed birds in your garden you're
helping them.

They say:

"Did you know you're already helping us? Just by feeding the birds in
your garden you're encouraging many threatened species to thrive"

Well, I've got news for the RSPB.

We've fed birds in our garden for decades and it's not to help the
RSPB; it's to help the birds.

And we buy our birdseed at Costco for under a fiver for 10 kilos.and
I'd rather spend the money on seed than support a multi-million pound
business that discriminates against wildlife including birds.

For the price of an annual family membership you could buy
approximately 85 kilos of seed which could be better spent on keeping
wild birds fat and happy than contributing to executives salaries of
up to £100k per annum
