Why do birds reject my grub?

moxin

Story is I do leave out some healthy brown bread out my back yard every morning for the neighbouring birds(swarms of them of all types from dastardly seagulls to crows to loveable families of robins\other tiny birds around) and yet most days they never eat what I leave out. If I go the the park and throw the food at the birds, they gollop it all up!!

Why do my local flying birds turn their beaks up at my generosity?

Are they overfed or something?!(i don't have any lovely cats either to deter them ) I do make sure that the grub is small enough for their beaks so why do my flying neighbours not like me?!

Probably watching the carbs

I read the heading and thought you were struggling to attract women and grub was nickname for your flute

They are sick of bread and all that ****e, leave out some steak and chips, if they are vegetarian birds thin slices of ham.

Banjo String

I thought this was about your Mott not eating a crispy pancake or similar.

You know your life is bad when you get rejected by wildlife.

The Backwards Man

There's rats in your garden feeding on your bird grub that's what's keeping the birds away.

They do well on my road, the robins are like tennis balls. Very cute creatures robins, sometimes they look in the patio door and kind of hop up and down on their stick like feet. They're feisty little fellas and don't seem perturbed by the cat at all, he seems to tolerate their presence as well. It's hilarious to watch two of them fight over turf, they're a solitary bird and don't like anyone fcuking with them.

The worst yokes are starlings, very dirty birds, the fcukers started nesting in my roof this summer.

Robins are always very curious and not put off by the dog either... though i know the plight of starlings, there are usually 100's in the garden. They make skme noise when they all take off together :P

Pumpkinseeds

Bread isn't great for them. We feed the birds every day, mostly bird seed and overripe fruit if we have it. They're very partial to porridge and left over mash potatoes. Maybe get a bird feeder and fill it with seed, it might attract the smaller birds as the weather gets colder.:)

tomwaterford

feed them rice!!

I'd love to know what gobsh*te came up with the idea of feeding an animal a processed food.

Birds do not need bread. You are killing them. If you want to feed them get them seed that's suitable for the type of bird in your area. Get peanuts and fat balls for the winter. Just, jesus will ya stop feeding them bread.

Why not bread? They usually take it but not this time!

Bread is not a natural food for any animal. Besides that, animals have some things that they can eat and things they can't. Some things they shouldn't eat, they won't, and some they will.

If you give a dog chocolate, it will probably eat it, but the chances are you will do some damage to the dog.

I don't know why they've stopped eating it, maybe it's because of the cold weather and they know they need something with fat content. Whatever the reason stop fcuking feeding them bread.

is it gluten free?
