Feeding birds in your garden.

[puzzled]

Do you guys feed animals/birds in your gardens and other places. A lot of older generation punjabis do this in india and and the UK.   It's important to do that if you dont already. It's like a dhaan. 

Just buy seeds, and throw them on the roof in your garden, birds eventually get into the habit of visiting your house and become familiar with it.  It's really good to do that.  Even bread! Just break it into small pieces and throw it into your roof.  If you dont have a flat roof then use bird table or those hanging bird feeder things.

I have a neighbourhood billhee that comes around a lot of the time. Sometimes she catches birds for dinner.... lol

You do realise that throwing food on the roof just attracts pigeons and they spread disease and your roof is probably full of guano (the name of pigeon shyt)

Lmao   iv seen cats stalking the birds when they are eating HAHA!  They crouch down on their bellies and slowly move forwards.  But because roofs are flat birds see them easily.   We get this big fat ginger cat that stalks the birds.
