Feeding the birds (1 Viewer)

[krystal]

The poor auld birds can't get at the ground at the moment and it's a good ID to put some food out for them. I've been making up a mix of lard, raw nuts, seeds, raisins and cheese for them and leaving it out - it's going down a fatty treat.

You can also leave pieces of apple, bacon, cheese, bird food and dry cat food out for them too, and water if you can manage it.

Ta lads.

my dad is getting a bit worked up about the blackbirds chasing other blackbirds out of the garden instead of eating the food and in the meantime the rest of the birds are eating everything

Bread on the window sill every morning. Makes quite a show.

If yer passing any fruit shops, ask them for gone off fruit. The old lad got a box of apples for the birds yesterday.

Fuck that shit. Everyone round our way's gone mad feeding the birds. We've got robins the size of pigeons waddling about the place.

only certain brands of birds can actually hang off those vertical bird nut feeders. so fuck them. if if its still insane cold in late february you have to stop feeding them or they dont get thier springtime jiggly on properly.

The mafia?

 

[nooleen]

but with the ground frozen i mean

aha

What happens to an earthworm in the winter when the ground is frozen and covered with snow?
It doesn’t die. It’s still there, way below the snow. “They burrow beneath the ground below the frost line and overwinter,” says Moskalyk. “Their body slows down, but they don’t hibernate, and in the spring they move back up to the surface.”

No, that's the fishes.
Watch out for the swans, they try to eat you!

oullfella (he writes nature columns) was saying he has really high hopes that the new zealand worms* will perish in this big freeze due to naivety.

*they were introduced at some point to kill some type of bug/plant, now they are beating the fuck into irish worms.

they look fat because they puff out their feathers to stay warm. sup-posedly

Oh yeah, once the recession comes we want those hard working new zealand worms all dead and let the Irish worms take their jobs, which they don't even have any interest in doing. Cruel.

 

[i lost my mind]

Suposedly the birds need water too, to clean there feathers to stay warm they will love that if you do it for them.
