Have a seed feeder...suet cages...and a bird bath. It's fun seeing the parent birds bring the babies in for food.

The view from my overpriced slum apartment is of the alley and the flat roof of the neighbor's 4-car garage. I toss bread and stuff onto the roof to feed the squirrels and pigeons.

I sometimes put out sunflower seeds or peanuts for the birds and squirrels. We have a pond they get water from.

Good for you, taking care of those little birds. 🐥

That's awsome, it's good to help animals.

I love birds.
We have families of finches that live in our trees, awning and bushes. A crow will come around occasionally to talk to my dog. They hang out together in the yard. My kitty doesn't like to go in for the kill as much as capture, bring the bird into the house and play with it while it is still very much alive. Which usually leads to leaving the doors open so the poor thing can eventually make its way out, or putting a very injured little bird someplace to either die or recover fro the trauma.

There are cats roaming around here but the sparrows seem to watch out for them, and now the mockingbirds are fighting the cats away from the yard, they post guard on top of the roofs of the houses and watch and wait to attack. The worst bird-catchers around here are falcons, have seen them take down robins, one crashed into my window as I was sitting here, went out and found the falcon with the robin on the ground and he saw me and flew up over the neighbor's fence with the robin.
No.
I found out in the most unfortunate way that it becomes a buffet for my cat when I feed or water the birds.
..And, oddly, when I put the food up high in a place where he can't readily hunt I have found that the food gets stolen. Where I live there is a large homeless population and I suspect that it is being taken for food. I wonder if this is not the same person who has been known to take refuge in my car on nights that I've forgotten to lock it.
This is actually not why I quit. I quit because I'm forgetful.

They will poop regardless, the neighbor has a mulberry tree and that brightens up my car and driveway for a few weeks in the spring. And I work at a car lot and feed the sparrows, cardinals and doves there too...the boss claims it causes them to poop on the cars and in the shop part of the building but I notice when I am gone for awhile and not feeding them they still come in and have their poops....can't blame me or the seeds for that.

I put out hummingbird feeders.

cherokeepatti that is nice to see you feeding and looking after our feathered friends I see you made provision for being any cats round sniffing for a meal

i'd like to but around here it brings vermin and you can't have that at an apartment complex where children are.
My husband does every morning. He buy a big bag of bird seed and he saves dried breadcrumbs and old cornbread for his "babies" :)

They are all going to poop on your vehicle if you don't keep them fed and watered.

Oh the wild birds are crazy for cornbread...the sparrows feed it to their young and they get loud begging for it. I'll make a pan of cornbread in the winter before a snow or ice storm and leave out at least half of it with seeds and water for the wild birds....they eat it up.
