Space Chick Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi all, I am out of wild bird food I have been giving them some the the girls mealworms, do you reckon they'd be OK with some of the girls mixed corn too? ( Don't tell the girls ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Don't see why not, if they don't like it they won't eat it, though not sure it will be suitable for the smaller birds, you'll probably have a flock of pigeons converge on you I've been putting out the left over christmas pudding ( don't know why I buy it, no one likes it ) some dried fruit that was past it's date, all crumbs from biscuits/ breadboard/ sandwhiches etc go out as well, and if I'm really stuck I raid the breakfast cereals. Hate to see an empty feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yes Debs, I've done that before. However, mine was how meezers described; 7 woodpigeons no other birds. Yesterday we had chaffinch, robin, tits & blackbirds feeding from the hanging feeders & below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Had a thought yesterday, what about crushed layers pellets ? wonder if the little birds would go for them ? we always have robins and sparrows getting stuck in the WIR because they've flown in to steal the food while the chooks are freeranging- mind you, it probably wouldn't taste so good if it wasn't stolen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have had a robin and a wren squeeze into the guinlu run and walk boldly into their house to snaffle food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
