I really don’t see any reason someone would be opposed to helpin out the birds. Birds are fucking awesome and if/when the day comes that I can’t hear them on a summer day anymore I’ll be furious and extremely depressed.
My neighbours got upset with me feeding the birds because they poo down the fence. They do the same my side, but as my garden isn’t empty of all life you can’t really tell.
“Stupid birds, wish they were all dead!!!” - Your Neighbours (probably)
“Stupid Birds, can’t believe he is feeding these government drones!” - His Neighbour (just as probable)
Unless you are one of those weirdos a who puts out half a loaf of bread for the feral pigeons each day.
We have a lot of starlings which I know are not everyones cup of tea but I love watching them squabble
Love starlings. Those and jackdaws are some of my favourites
Same here. Bollocks to them though, I feed them anyway 😀
Note: It’s the birds I feed, not the neighbours.
I have a friend with bird phobia, I don’t think he’d agree.
Surely him seeing a therapist is a far more practical solution to that problem then telling everyone else they can’t help out wildlife.
we have no mosquitoes here, because the bats and swifts eat them all (or at least nearly all)
This is so clever! This is the sort of thing we want to be seeing
I’m all for helping the birds but houses should be made out of timber. Lower carbon, more sustainable and easier to recycle at end of life.
My house is currently about 120 years old. I’m not sure I want it to have an end of life. On the other hand - there is a very very active secondhand market for London yellow and soft-red bricks - so there are a lot of brick structures being recycled.
Timber?! That’s a fucking terrible idea. It’s inexcusable that modern homes aren’t build out of mud and wattle. Lower carbon, more sustainable, and you don’t have to do anything and end of life because it’s a stupid fucking idea that no one thinks is good.
Much more expensive, and how would you guarantee that it had been sustainably sourced?
