Default bird feeding

Hello,

We put some seeds out for the birds. I don't know whether this is a
good idea or not. On one hand, hopefully if they eat the seed, they
won't eat my plants! On the other hand, it might draw more birds to
the garden to eat my berries! What do you think?

Anyway, they've eaten two feeders full of seeds already. So my
question is, where can I buy seed in bulk and cheap?


I get mine from the local racing pigeon shop - he buys large sacks to make
his own smaller packs of wild bird seed but was happy to sell me a large
sack.

The problem is that the birds don't eat ALL the seed, much of it they
scatter on the ground where it germinates ...
