We live just north of Philadelphia PA.
We have loads of birds that nest around our house. What kind?
Hell if I know!
Small and they sound nice, kind of grey and nondescript to my untrained eyes.
For years I have put out left over bread and other stuff for generations of birds and in time - say an hour or three it's gone.
Recently the food is gone in minutes and the birds swarm! I put out bread for 2 days in a row and bought some wild bird seed at the pet food store.
Questions:
I do not want the birds to become dependent on me, but I do want them to do ok.
How often should I feed? Should I put out as much as they will eat or just a bit?
I also have provided water.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
