I feed the pigeons - and consequently also doves, myna birds, etc - a scooping of wild bird seed twice a day. Usually, this is at sun-up and between two and three PM. If the pigeons are lucky, they may also get a snack. If I am cutting up cheese to make a pizza, a tiny scrap may end up chopped and tossed onto the pathway. When I bake cookies, bread or pastries, I generally tip the crumbs from the tin I baked them upon outside along with any pieces that fell off our plates or got left over. Burned corners and items my son does not enjoy consuming also get 'used' in a bird friendly manner.
Although my camera is still offering only blurry pictures, I have been too impatient to wait until purchasing a newbie. I took a few shots of the birds enjoying their snacks on the mid lawns.
Firstly, a myna bird joined the pigeons for some cookie crumbs.
A seagull and pair of myna birds joined in the feast when it was old home made pizza crust.
Finally, Smokey takes his own snack from a plant in the yard - an old corn plant that grew head-seed. I found that this seed was like nectar to pigeons, so transplanted the old stump and let it re-grow to provide them with a snack and me with an 'ornamental grass'.
