There is about a foot of snow outside my door at the moment and I am worried that the birds are having a hard time finding food in all this snow!! Thankfully its not this bad all over the country but around here its like the arctic!!and I am not kidding...if you have a 99p shop or a pound shop or even a Wilkinsons near to you its easy to find and buy "bird balls" which are specially designed for all types of garden birds and are filled with fat which is what they need in the cold! Also they enjoy any kind of nuts or specialist bird feed, pet food (for eat eaters like Magpies, Crows, and Rooks) and another good one is cut up bacon rind or just bacon fat which any kind of bird will enjoy!!. Plus you get the added benifit of watching which type of birds visit your garden (if you have one) and if not there is always the option of feeding birds at your local park.
In other news we took mum shopping today and she said "oh I just want a few bits from Tesco" and came out with a trolly overflowing with goodies...but to be fair she can't get out because of the bad weather, but she knows I am always here to fetch her some shopping or even a newspaper. I finally convinced her to get a walking stick and she admitted today its very usefull. Also her washing machine has broke so I am doing all her washing to the extent my dining room looks like a mad persons laurndrette!!!...and I have an important person visiting me this week to help me in a new venture (I can't say much more) and I just hope he sticks to my much tider livingroom!!
Won a nice auction tonight for a rare Sylvac piece which I should make a good profit on....we shall see but I got it for about a 3rd of its proper value!!
Anyway, please look after your garden visitors!...they will return in spring and thank you with their beautiful songs!

Hi Victoria.
I'm pleased to say that yes, we have been feeding the birds and giving them fatballs like the ones you mentioned. They're happy but the downside is that I'm having to clean my car a lot...indeed I've just bought a car cover. Sigh.... Re: Re: Remember to look after our feathered friends in the cold!!
