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)

Same here. Bollocks to them though, I feed them anyway 😀

Note: It's the birds I feed, not the neighbours.

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

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.
