My fat balls bring all the birds to the yard

Biggest smile of the day.

I don't know which ones we use but all the birds love them. They are square and sit in a cage and the crows take the top off the cage so they can pull them out.

There were 15 crows and jackdaws in the garden yesterday fighting over them - we chased them off so the small birds could get a look in and they lined up along the fence. It was like a scene from The Birds, quite scary.

Birds listen to AC/DC ?

Poor old Henry how is going to manage without his fat 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?

have you tried the peckish ones?

I had Henry Bell ones in between but now we are back to peckish and the starlings in particular love them. I have a summer berries suet block from ivel valley bird food which the blue tits absolutely love

Ooohhh you are awful, but I like it, as Dick Emery would have said, many moons ago.

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.

Fat balls, no tits.

The tits love the new balls ❤️

Oh, I'm getting there (slowly 😂)

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
🤣🤣🤣

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

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.

Dreamies for birds.

I reckon they are laced with crack

No one has suggested any other theory

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

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

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 🥳

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.

JaneJudge

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

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bet it brings all the rats too 😩

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

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
