Thread: The birds are back - feeding a pond?

You'd want compitition for food, not excess laying about.

I haven't fed with any consistancy for years. Find em and hunt em

Yeah that sounds about right. Very small amounts throughout the day. Ive heard of guys putting a sheet of tin next to the feeder so when it spits out the grain it makes plenty of noise hitting the tin. Be like an alarm clock to come and get a feed .
