Granny Biscuit told Aunty Biscuit about threading a particular breakfast cereal onto pipe cleaners for bird food.  It sounds like her and Mum are possibly going to give it a try.  Left to me the birds would be lucky to be given anything as they cheat even more than frogs by flying away if chased. I think they should provide them something more challenging.  I’m pondering on the possibly elastic as then the birds could bungee jump whilst feeding.  Given that Mum now has a piece of wood for drilling purposes maybe she could drill holes in cornflakes instead of using the ones with the holes ready made.  Then again perhaps not, as it would take a lot of time and patience that would be better spent on us.
