Lol Lynn, yes go and feed them!!!

I've just done a 5 mile journey as I've found a pet shop that does them, BUT, they are £2.50 for a very small tub which will only last me a morning! The good news is, they knew immediately that I'd put them out there, I'm inundated now with the 3 little babies (don't know where the 4th one is ) 2 sparrow babies, the robins, the daddy blackbird, oooooh I'm all excited again now! Doesn't take much with me though!!!

I just looked out there and Mrs. B has stuffed nearly ALL of them in her gob and flown off!! I've got to put more out there now! I can see these 4 boxes won't last me long, but then I've got my big delivery coming later on today I hope.

My new consignment just arrived, which is a good job too, coz I got through those 4 boxes I bought yesterday in only one day, and they cost me £10!!!! The internet order is about 50 times that amount for £11!! Just show you doesn't it, you have to shop around, and how much cheaper internet purchases are too!

A friend just popped round for lunch, so I made her wait in the bootroom and told her to look through the door when I threw some out. The 3 babies were there instantly, and she couldn't believe how they didn't move and run away when I went out there! I'm getting obsessed with these blooming birds, you're right there lore, although Imuch prefer the title "The birdwoman of Findon" Lol, you can leave out the mad! It doesn't take much to excite me ya know Bless them, I'm just hoping that they don't come to rely on me too much for their meals, although one of them is flying away now and again, but always joins the others again when I've thrown some out there.

I took some pics earlier on, so I'll go to PB and sort them out, they might not be very good coz of course I took them through the kitchen window coz I didn't want to frighten them off with the flash.

Here's my babies, sorry it's not very close up but my camera isn't very good with getting close ups so I took it on normal!



Awwww, aren't they cute, and daddy blackbird is sitting nearby just to make sure I'm doing my job properly!
