The vast difference of your images compared to mine at the same time of the year is kinda jaw dropping. Last Sunday I went out for a family lunch wearing my short sleeve t-shirt. 20C!
I had no idea that feeding birds is prohibited there. To be honest I wish we had something similar cause birds have more than enough to eat around here anyway without being snow challenged but most importantly we often have cases of pigeon overpopulation. And while I don't mind the overpopulation of any kind of birds, pigeons can turn a whole neighbourhood to a shit hole (literally) in no time. Takes only a misanthropist loner to destroy a few blocks of buildings by feeding those rats of the sky. Cause these people don't feed a few birds at their door, they leave huge quantities at open spaces (soaked bread usually).
Hope your pain is over and you're feeling as good as possible - have a nice day!
It is jaw dropping but that's reality.
Feeding birds is a double edge sword, unfortunately and people can't see it. They think they are doing good but once birds get used to being fed, their instinct to look for food starts to fade away. They say don't start to feed them if you don't do it constantly. The mess they make is another matter, which doesn't look good but I don't mind as they have their role in nature.
And I'm feeling better thank you :)
