What to feed wild birds

3.7K Posts




Hi
Does any one have a link please to a list of good and bad foods for wild birds.
Am new to this so have just put out suet balls, mixed seed, crushed cereal and grapes. Plus rain water (from my butt) for a bath and boiled tap water for drinking.
Dont mind who arrives to the food (except rats!)
Thx all

Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

I live in a small rural village and our vermin are all of the brown, countryside type and not the grey urban type. I also don't mind those poor little tree rats - or squirrels as some of us call them. They used to get the lion's share of the bird food, I have to say. No squirrel, rat or mouse ever tried to come inside my home, though. But the neighbours had the power to report us, so we had to stop.
Just something to be aware of. It's not just the birds you'll be feeding. And even if you put up a notice saying 'no rats', they won't take any notice.
We did have one little field vole who would rush out, grab a sed and rush back to its burrow.
No rats or squirrels.
A couple,broken up and put out on a tray soon go.
