I met my other birdie fan who lives along the road, when I was out with Georgie this morning, and she said she has gone right off me!!!
When I asked why, she said her husband had told her to give me a slap if she saw me, coz she has accused me of pinching all of her birds, and she's the one who feeds them sultanas by hand!!! I did give her a small bag of my mealworms though from my first delivery, and it's her birthday on Monday, so I'm going to order her her own special batch of 500grammes, so I will be killing two birds with one stone pardon the pun coz when she sees how many MORE birds she will have, then she will start ordering them too, and that way, we'll be helping the population out even more in my village won't we, and also that'll save me keep giving her some of mine coz I need all mine now, I can't keep up with this!!!Off to Wigglys again now then, and hopefully they will arrive by Saturday coz I'm bound to have run out.
I've still got the 3 hopping about under the hedge, the robin and her baby, the sparrow and her 2 babies, I just hope that blooming pigeon doesn't bring hers down coz it's getting a bit crowded out there at the bird sanctuary!

that's 2kgs in only 7 days!!!! Dave thinks I'm nuts spending £18 on 2 kgs of live mealworms, but he doesn't realise the pleasure I get out of watching them all tucking in. It's only because it's the breeding season that I'm doing this though. The robin, sparrows and blackbirds are stuffing their beaks constantly with them to fly off to the nest, in fact just about everything is lapping them up, apart from the greenfinches who prefer the sunflower hearts. I ordered another job lot last night, so hopefully, they'll be here in the morning's post. Poor little babies, they're sitting out there looking up at my window waiting for me, but I don't have any
Would they eat cold chicken if I cut a bit up really small? This is awful, I feel soooooo guilty
I know not to throw any bread out there They're having a little sunbathe now, probably in the hope that they'll get some more for tea, but they won't!
