    Beefburgers for Swans, it helps them float.

    The souls of children.

    I try to get orphan souls, seems to agree with them better.

    I feed the seagulls anything from my leftover dinner. I had a record 15 seagulls hovering outside last night waiting for a bite.

    I have a couple of bird feeders hanging from a tree in my back garden which I fill up with nuts and things.

    A grey squirrel tries to get nuts from these feeders by climbing up the branches and hanging down batman style. It's gas to watch! :-D

    Sorry to keep you waiting.

    Bread Soda. In large quantites. It makes them explode. Fun for all the family. Failing that try calcium dicarbide.

    Chicken and Duck Meat. The thoughts of forcing cannibalism on birds gives me a god complex.

    Although they seem to be getting more aggressive as the weeks go by, I may have to terminate the experiment.

    I feed them the loaf crusts, the crows and magpies always eat it on the smaller birds though.

    When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
    But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
    The sun's shining bright,
    Ev'rything seems all right,
    When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

    It's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know

    The" four sprung duck" technique is the best way to feed birds-

    Line up four birds, one behind the other, beak to bum, feed the bird at the front, and ten minutes later the bird at the back gets fed too! :P

    There's always one that tries to get more attention than the others by pulling a ferocious duckface though, I usually just land her with the "bill"! :rolleyes:

    We feed them a mixture of birdseed, leftover veg and overripe fruit, when our cats are asleep, otherwise we'd be ringing the dinner bell for the cats.
