When I leave home in the morning the first thing i do is to feed the birds in my garden.I love seeing them fly I in front of me,knowing what I have for them.And I continue feeding the birds,especially crows,wherever I go from that point,until I get home again.
@pedrohedgerow they probably look at me and say "here comes that miserable woman with the reduced bread again". The robin likes meat or worms, but if he's starving he'll eat the multigrain bread.
When I travel up North on my Motorcycle, there are often Foxes hanging around the gas stations hoping for handouts. Sad to see, but love the visuals, they are so amazing. I had one run into my tent looking for a quick steal, but I do not have food anywhere near my tent up North, so he left empty handed. The signs around here say "A fed bear is a dead bear". Do not feed them.
2007-2008. We used to have a flock of wild turkeys that would come and peck around my bird feeder, so I began to buy cracked corn for them, and they would approach me when they saw me coming with the bucket. I regretted that very deeply. They tore up my perennial flower bed and shredded a very old growth of ivy planted by the previous owner of my home. VERY destructive birds.
@Travelbug They did scare me a time or two. I thought the male leader was getting too close once, and he looked like he might attack me for the bucket of corn, so I threw the corn as fast as I could. Eventually I stopped feeding them, after they wrecked my garden.
@Travelbug I don鈥檛 know if they stay here in the summer or not. I know they seem scared they will starve and know when it鈥檚 going to get real cold or come a snow so they start looking for food by scouting around looking for food on porches or in feeders. We had migrating Canada geese but have a lot that stays all year round now.
@xixgun That鈥檚 usually where I see them too. They also hang out on my car quite a bit whether I feed them or not, so I decided to just give them something from time to time. 馃槄
