the goldfinch, they won't mind.
Is a household budget of £600 too much to spend on wild bird food?

a day? a week?
I dunno. It does add up though. Greedy wee fucks.

an annual expenditure, although during spring it feels like per day.

I can't imagine that wild birds would be that fussy.

you'd be wrong
my mum used to make them a massive plate every morning with breadcrumbs, cubes of butter/cheese, nuts, raisins, oats and wild bird food. each breed had its favourite - the jays/jackdaws stole all the cheese (they can carry about 5 cubes each), the blackbirds liked the raisins etc.

none of them liked the wild bird food. that was rejected until the very end. if she was late with the plate, there'd be birds in the trees chacking and scolding.

It's this sort of behaviour that stunts the evolutionary process.

You mean that butter doesn't grow in the wild?
:O
