The wrong kind of birds
garden, they'll move on to another. Good luck.  I had thought of these feeder-guards more for squirrel deterrence - but had overlooked the idea that they could also deter the *!^"*: rooks!  Off to GC tomorrow to rook-proof my bird feeders. Many thanks by Shrinking Violet

For whom do we garden .............
they were always pecked to death by peacocks and pheasant visiting from a suburban farm behind her.   My country phesants stick to the bird food thankfully. A couple of years ago I would have said for the deer! They stripped my veg garden and nipped off all by Bookertoo

Why are blackbirds digging the garden
In all the years I have been gardening and feeding birds this is the first year that the blackbirds have decided to dig up everything in sight.  The garden looks a complete mess after a couple of days, bark mulch all over the paths, bulbs and plants by Jobird

rat
is rabbits and deer - its a bit like Snow Whites Garden sometimes. It's not a water rat, as there is a stream, like "Ratty" in Wind in the Willows, is it? Somehow that doesn't seem so bad! I stopped feeding the birds after seeing two rats running up the trees by summerpots

Eaten snowdrops
All my snowdrop petals have been eaten.  Would this be slugs and snails?  Shouldn't they be hibernating at this time of year? Have they been eaten or are they still lying there. Birds sometimes just peck flowers off and leave them. Doubt slugs by Caroline6
