Peanuts for Birds
"Kay Easton" wrote in message ... : In article , K : writes : : We have 7 feeders in our small suburban garden in SW London, 3 of which have : peanuts, the others mixed seed. The seed is definitely popular, but the : peanuts go too (the squirrels probably get the majority). I bought a small : cage type thing with fat 'cake' which came in various varieties. I chose : the one with insects, as I though it would be less attractive to the : squirrels. It lasted just over a week and was popular with the starlings. : I have had fat balls in the past but the squirrels just take the whole ball! : We've had up to 13 house sparrows in the garden recently. : : Only 13! ;-) : : I know they've declined in recent years, but it seems to be more in the : south than the N. We don't have a huge variety of birds, but the : sparrows and the tits arrive in flocks. : -- : Kay Easton : : Edward's earthworm page: : http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ We're proud of our 13 :O)) For the past 5 yrs or so we were practically without them but before that we had lots. We were also without greenfinches for a number of yrs but they have returned now. We also get rose ringed parakeets on our feeders - bet you don't get those! K |
