........Or is it just a British obsession?.............
when we go food shopping it's normal to pop some wild bird food and some tasty fat ball treats in our baskets for the birds.......and the shops have heaps of bird stuff for sale......
lol........my front garden looks like a birdie cafe with treats and food hanging from my apple tree..........

Is it just a British quirk or is this happening worldwide?

We do it here in the USA. My nieghbors back yard is on the other side of my backyard fence and they feed birds and squirrels so when summer comes there are birds and squirrels all over my yard lol

My grandma used to have a bird feeder, and little humming birds would always eat from it. I loved watching them buzz around in one place.

Yes I feed the birds...
I love bird feeders myself.... I have several... I agree I love to just watch them all. I also love to watch the little squirrels jump and play all around. :D

I do, I also have footage I can download but I'm not sure how to do it.
Perhaps, I'll try and figure it out
lots of fun footage but I'm not sure how much timewise I'm allowed to
post, I go in 20 secd spurts but I'm not sure how much memory
it will take or is allowed.

I'm not familiar with sending online, I tried earlier this week to send
some by email, but some didn't work, not sure if the file was too big.

Did you try uploading them to Youtube first CJ?

We also get a lot skunks, raccoons, cats, bats and this summer for the first time I saw a fox coming out of a wooded area. Somebody that my dad knows claimed he saw a wolf out here last summer. I hope and pray he was drunk and hullicinating or saw a husky and thought it was a wolf lol

I just sent a video I took of my daughter at a christmas parade,
I think she received it.
If I can do that, would the squirrel video to my website then
here, how would I send it here? And get it into the right category?

Oops, I'm getting mixed up between a Website and an Email site.
Yup, there's a big difference.
I really should edit it first b4 sending and maybe
reduce the size of the file but then it would not
come out as clear as it is.
I'll have to think about it, I know,
I'll email a friend
