Yeh lol, its not so much that. We have a large starling roost in 2 big trees at the end of the garden and you don`t want to see any of the little fellas miss out on some food, as you know they bully each other out of the way when its feeding time so i put quite a bit out to try and stop some going without. Also we have our resident blackbirds and we have about 5-6 of them, i have a seperate area for the resident blue tits, sparrows and ringed dove who are easy to look after with a good seed mix. We also have 2 resident magpies and they just help themselves when they are hungry, its hard to know where you draw the line as you don`t want to see any of them go without some food especially in winter and with so many daily visitors we have a quite a few beaks to feed...... Its a pleasure though, they are so entertaining.
