This Sparrow in the plum tree next door, looking at me as if it is very hungry and where is my meal?
I drop bread crumb trails in the garden so the birds eat the bugs when I don’t put slug bait down. They get bread and protein at the same time.
I discourage them from eating my strawberries by hanging disused CDs over the patch on a string so the wind blows them over the strawberries. Don’t mind giving some fruit to them with the compost, but they are told to leave us some too.
