Having a 10 year old daughter has its benefits. We have 3 strategically placed seed holders on/in the Hawthorne tree about 18 feet from the kitchen window and she filled them all this morning.
It gives us huge pleasure watching the birds fighting and barging for the seeds.
Little wrens and sparrows stand either side of the holders just literally fucking the seeds out continuously onto the lawn. There are about 20/23 of them in the tree, waiting for their turn and on the table is a wood pigeon with beautiful colours on its neck and chest and on the lawn reaping maximum benefit are 2 doves (always a pair) another 2 pigeons and 5 or 6 wrens a bluetit and a couple of sparrows walking around feeding off the bounty. There'll be a couple of robins later too. ( I thought robins were terretorial birds...?)
But the 2 pigeons on the floor are big fat bastards! Really big and fat!
You'd marvel and place small bets that they wouldn't be able to take off!
