My fat balls bring all the birds to the yard

You know I never thought about how the title would come across. I was thinking of the song. I was honestly just thinking about bird fat balls.

I apologise in advance for any upset caused

Husband just buys fat balls anywhere that seems cheap. Never noticed any difference. Mind you there is no competition from other houses around

You read my mind 😁

RSPB advice is not to feed the birds May - October, perhaps the birds know that 🙂

I am not upset JaneJudge it made me laugh.

You are allowed to put fat balls out though. The seed feeders spread disease apparently through warmer months but hard fat balls that don’t melt are okay to put out

There is no seed left anyway. It was devoured by the sparrows only

I thought you were in Australia because even a beautiful five acre garden is called a back yard there! 😁

I've just bought sunflower hearts and a half fat ball in a biodegradable half shell. I reckon the shell will degrade before any blue tits come to eat the contents!

Ps which song? Excuse my ignorance.

Milkshake
Unfortunately I think it’s rude as well but I just thought it was about milkshake, so why break the innocence of my actual innocent mind 🥳

Sorry JaneJudge it does say small amounts of fat balls - missed that.

you don't have to apologise I felt bad after I read regarding the seeds but they went so quickly I stopped worrying about it

I missed the double entendre - I was interested because the birds here ignore all bird food so I was going to ask you for your magic fb recipe! 🤣

I reckon they are laced with crack

No one has suggested any other theory

Dreamies for birds.

The birds in my garden simply didn’t even look at Peckish bird seed and ignored the fat balls. So I gave up and bought sunflower seed. I read that there are two different reasons not to feed in May till October, one was the seed can carry a disease and the other was that it was better to avoid birds gathering together closely.

I must be a bit dim as I'm still rather confused 😁

I didn’t get upset at all I thought it was hilarious thinking of your ‘fat balls’ in your garden I bet the ‘birds’ do congregate
🤣🤣🤣

Oh, I'm getting there (slowly 😂)

The tits love the new balls ❤️

This is a perfect thread for me. Having obeyed rspb and got rid of the seeds (which birds loved snd devoured in two hours), I put up fat balls on Saturday and not a bit of interest....how odd....
Wonder why?

Fat balls, no tits.

I hummed that song time and a very good laugh, so thank you Jane xx

With four dogs and cats all over the neighbourhood, we get few birds in our Yard but my DM put out feeders and fat birds and they flocked to hers.
