Garden birds love coffee beans. Discovered this simple fact by pure happenstance when I dropped some old coffee beans onto the garden (they were headed for the compost bin). They were gone in minutes. Mystified, I repeated the procedure several times and I now know why, as our feathered friends swooped and devoured every one.
Maybe like us humans, birds enjoy a caffeine fix now and again. I now mix coffee beans in with the nuts in my feeder and they are rapidly and perkily pecked by sparrow, blue tit and coal tit alike !
