    There is a bird who comes to my backdoor everyday and I give it some breadcrumbs. What do you feed your bird?

    Custard Creams. They also like bourbons and chocolate hobnobs. Crush them up for them.
    I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing.
    And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

    Bread is really bad for birds, it gives them fatty liver and their little digestive systems can't handle the additives.

    Not that it's great for humans either but I won't open than can of worms. (pun!)

    Insert generic joke about girlfriend here whilst thinking I'm totally hilarious and original.

    I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!

    Usually peanuts or whatever's in the bag of bird food.

    Ever more elaborate lies, due to my double life as a mild-mannered chemistry teacher and family man / meth cook.

    Small chunks of soft white fresh bread wrapped around thumb-tacks.

    At the crack of dawn I awake and create 50 of theses beauties.

    Go out to my 2nd floor balcony with my breakfast consisting of whiskey and woodbines.

    It begins.

    Fook them. Freeloading, delicate cunts.

    I don't need to feed them anything, Robbie the Robin is always stealing from the dog.

    The back of my place is polluted with cats so I would only be luring the birds into certain death. I plan to move and set up challenges for crows to test their smarts.

    Why feed them?

    They should do their own damn foraging/hunting. :P In the winter? The smart birds fly to warmer climates, feeding birds in the winter would reward stupidity.

    get one of those "seed balls" in a pet store, and hang it somewhere in your garden - they love eating the seeds from it - also, don't forget a little bowl of water for them.
