Hi guys, i just got into live streaming the birds that feed in my garden. Ive seen robins, martins, magpies, dove pigeons, finches and a load of starlings so far. They seem to love cornflakes and biscuits. Any ideas what better food can attract them?

At the moment the set up is kinda ghetto, but I want to make improvements. I stream two or three times a day for an hour or so on twitch. The name is keithystreams if anyone wants to have a look
 
Hi Keithy and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

Apart from 'cornflakes and biscuits' you don't say what else you feed them. Neither of those should be on their menu (nor should bread) as they contain salt, which most birds (apart from sea birds usually) can cope with. You want to try meal worms, seeds of various kinds (nyger for finches), sunflower hearts, peanuts all go down well.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
 
Welcome to Birdforum! I am sure that you will find lots to interest you here and I hope that you enjoy your visits.
 
Thanks guys. And thanks for the info. The other thing I fed them WAS bread (eek) Ill pick up some seeds and peanuts tomorrow :)
