Hello
Here i am again since last year when our lovely friend spot was away. This cam is funny to see the little friends. In my backyards i put a birdfeeder but i have some doubts about the seeds to put there to call tit and other ones. So, does anyone know what kind of seeds are in the magic ball?
Thanks in advance.
Abel

Hei welcome back Abel!
these are sunflower seeds in these fatballs you can use any unsalted seeds or nuts, but the small birds just love sunflower seeds...

Thank to all for the lovely pictures....yes most would make a lovely Christmas
Card (dear me its here again. )
For feeding the small birds a friend from the Bird Protection Society says the small seed-mix is good for little birds we have been using for a few years now. We buy it in any supermarket or Animal shop. If they have sunflower seed we notice here that the small birds just grab a seed and go to a branch to eat with foot and beak.
The balls are made with fat and a whole mix of different seeds and they eat through the plastic covering. ( ours anyway ) also buy them in the shops.
We give them all of the above and they were already waiting by the feeder even before we started this year. clever birds.
Our feeders are modified this year to keep the pidgeons OUT they scatter the seeds all over (beware of cats.. :protest: ) and prevent the little birds from coming. :peek:
I hope Abel that you understand all of that..
