Re: Warning! - Feeding Peanuts to Birds

I first put out about 4 fat balls and 1 bag of peanuts hanging around the garden but I had to relocate the peanuts as we found they were being stolen. It was a clean-out of the shed that we found a field mouse had taken refuge in there during the winter and had found the peanuts.

It seemed like a very long time for the birds to find the fat bals and I started to wonder whether they were of any use but all of a sudden it seemed that they were being eaten - by birds of all sizes.

The most popular feeder was the small plastic one containing small seeds and dried grubs - had to refill it every two or three days.
