Apple cores or part bad apples are popular with the
blackbirds, but hey don't often eat the peel.

Will they eat butternur squash? i cut one in half and roasted it the
other day but then frogot it so it's now three days old and starting to
get mouldy . Would they eat that if i put it out?


I think that if they did eat it, the mould might be bad for them?


Quite probably. Overripe and even rotting fruit is a very different
matter from mould. On the other hand, I would simply cut the mould
off and eat the squash - we don't have trouble with mould!
