A chara, – Eve Parnell (Letters April 23rd) suggests we drop some crumbs to our feathered friends in appreciation of the beautiful birdsong. We should also make sure the bird-bath is well topped up. All that singing and entertainment must be thirsty work!– Is mise,

Sir, – Please don’t feed bread to our beautiful birds. Bread makes birds ill. Instead feed them birdseed, oats, chopped lettuce, peas, corn and cooked rice. They will thank you for it with their melodies! – Yours, etc,
