I feed my birds
peanuts
nyger seed
sunflower hearts
black sunflower seeds
suet and fat balls
sultanas
seed mix
mealworms.
I also give my birds WATER!!!
I think the RSPB is the best thing in the world, except BIRDS!
Looks like I give my birds the same. I also make my own fat blocks from lard and seeds and breadcrumbs, cheese and mealworms when I have them. any oldish fruit like chopped apple etc.
I have a pond with a little manmade stream and the birds love bathing and drinking. I keep my pump going all winter so there is always running water for them. :-)
I have only just started putting nyger seeds out and am hoping to get some birds on that eventually?
What birds visit your nyger seeds?
I like deadlines I particularly like the whooshing sounds as they fly by ( Douglas Adams)
Hi, Shirley Drabble
The birds that I get at my Nyger seeds are:
Goldfinches(all the time)
Siskins(all the time)
Greenfinches(occasionally)
I think there really worth the money.
When i first put them out i didn't get any birds for a couple of weeks.
To be honest the birds i saw were not fed, because mine where seen on a small bit of grass surrounded by wood and so i saw them in totally natural circumstances.
Camera always at the ready!!

Currently, mine are fed:
nyjer seed
premium mixed seed
peanut granules (they aren't eating whole peanuts for some reason)
berry flavoured suet pellets
dried mealworms
raisins
safflower seed (not popular)
atora suet flakes melted and mixed with goodies
insect and peanut tubcakes
fat balls (not popular at present)
Cheers, Linda.
