    I’m making friends with the maggies that come here, letting them see my face and dropping a few little treats.

    Sometimes I throw a few pieces of high quality dry cat food (nutritionally complete, high protein and grain free). I had some dried mealworms but unsure where they are. Today I threw some small whole dried fish.

    I don’t give bread or mince, being aware of calcium deficiencies or food getting stuck on beaks. And I don’t give it frequently or in excessive quantities

      I too put out high quality complete cat crunchies if magpies come. 🙂

      And since I put food out for the sparrows and doves last week nearly all the aphids in the terrace garden have been gonned.
