They've been loyal and patient and it's about time for the food to appear.

Love it, thank you!

Everyday like clock work, they know when the food will appear and will be here 30 mins beforehand to bathe and scratch around until food is served xD

Haha. That is a pretty big group, are the neighbours down with it?

Don't know and don't really care to be perfectly honest. I live in a street that is predominantly students and I have to put up with loud parties and people screaming in the street outside my bedroom window pretty much every week, often multiple times a week.

My upstairs student neighbours this time last year left a tap on and then went out to party so I was woken up at around 1 am to the fire alarms shorting out and a waterfall coming through the light fittings in my living room.

Two days ago someone stood outside my house for around two hours between around 23:00 and 1:00 just smashing plates in the street every 5 mins or so.

So to be perfectly honest I couldn't care less how they feel about me feeding some pigeons a couple of times during the middle of the day. They can all go fuck themselves.

Sounds good, i mean, at least nobody's bothering you for feeding the pigeons :)

Right?

Right now we also get Blackbirds, Robins, magpies, jackdaws, sparrows and blue tits everyday too. I like that they have a little oasis from the city in my garden!

Reassure us that they're eating healthy bird food and not white bread.

Fuck no white bread. I buy 40kg of wild bird seed every month for them which consists of "homegrown small grain wheat, cut maize, red dari, black sunflowers, a mixture of millets with a dash of aniseed oil". They also gave some suet and berry pellets as a little treat here and there :D
