grubs
In article , martin
writes The last cock sparrow in our garden went quite mad: throwing himself against the shed window, then, when we covered that, against the bedroom window; then he 'adopted' the baby bluetits in the nesting box: he sat on the box all day, trying to keep the parents away. The woodpecker also attacked the box, so we hung a cage over the box. (After that all went well, and the bluetits raised their young. We left the cage on there for years.) In any case, I wondered whether it was some sort of bird flu that had this strange effect. I wondered the same. It was certainly nothing to do with change of habitat. We can get up to 14 or 15 sparrows at one time in our garden. Don't seem to have reduced in numbers, also long tailed tits and now loads of blackbirds, a thrush r two and greenfinches since we hung one of those bird 'tables' from the oak tree. They seem to love feeding off that rather than from the bird feeders. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
