They're my favorite, and we have a lot here too.

I'm out of bird seed, and can't get to the tree with the feeder anyway. I noticed the birds have been raiding the dry cat food on the porch that is Sherbie's. We always have a problem with the crows doing that in the Spring and early Summer, but never saw any others doing it.

I crumbled up some bread and a stale bagel, and added some rolled oats to it, and tossed some out in the snow for the poor hungry little ones. They have been eating it, so at least they are getting some food. I remember when I was a kid, my mother always took bread that was getting stale and crumbled it for the birds.
