#Feed the Birds

Spreading good cheer 🐰🐦💕

Algy was always concerned for his wee feathered friends in the depths of the winter, when the weather was cold and they could find little natural food to eat, so to be on the safe side he decided to feed them himself, just in case his assistant was too busy to get round to it before the short January day turned back into night.

The more agile small birds were happy on the peanut and seed feeders which his assistants provided, but the ground feeding birds could not manage to cling to those, so Algy scattered some grains and old sultanas on the frosted grass and then sat down to wait for his fluffy cousins, trying hard to ignore the unpleasant prickling chill in his tail feathers.

At first all was silent and still, but before long there was a rustling and a bustling in the bushes, and a few minutes later the garden birds started to emerge one by one and flock around him, for they were exceedingly anxious to find food.

Algy smiled happily as he watched them, and from time to time he conversed with those who were not too much occupied with eating to pay attention, but when they were concentrating on the all-important business of replenishing their energy, Algy began to sing a well-known song from an old movie – a song which he often hummed to himself at night, if he was finding it difficult to fall asleep…

And if you have a garden or an outside space, or know a little old bird woman or man who sells crumbs – and can spare a tuppence or two – Algy hopes very much that you will feed the birds as well 😊

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's The little old bird woman comes In her own special way to the people She calls, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs" "Come feed the little birds, show them you care And you'll be glad if you do Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare All it takes is tuppence from you" "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag Feed the birds", that's what she cries While overhead, her birds fill the skies All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles Look down as she sells her wares Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling Each time someone shows that he cares Though her words are simple and few "Listen, listen", she's calling to you "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag" Though her words are simple and few "Listen, listen", she's calling to you "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

And for those who are still young at heart, here is the clip from the original film:

So I watched Once Upon a Studio last night…

I cried… a lot!

Just when I thought Feed the Birds couldn’t emotionally fuck me up further Richard Sherman rocks up and proves me wrong!

Up until yesterday THIS:

Was the saddest use of Feed the Birds but nope THIS:

Just took the cake 😭😭

On another note:

Best moments: Jim Hawkins solar surfing through Sisu and Oswald just strolling onto the screen at the end

Also wasn’t expecting to get jumpscared by Bobby Driscoll but I am not opposed - Give me that nostalgia!

I’ve also been watching too much Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure cause the 3D versions of Raps and Eugene threw me slightly 😂

This was amazing and made me want House of Mouse back! Please for love of God put it on Disney+

I saw a few other people put together "farewell to summer" coordinates and I wanted to join! This dress just screams (pun always intended) summer to me! Bonus photo of me feeding my pigeon friends. Pigeons are one of my greatest joys in life.

Don't mind me working on making "Feed the Birds" one of Ramin Karimloo's top five songs on Spotify as I play it on loop since four o'clock this morning to soothe my sick baby since it's her favorite song and the only one she'll fall asleep to. Just doing the Lord's work over here.

I found this really good fan-fiction online, and I had to draw it out. The fanfic is called “So I guess this is it.” By fluffykitty12. I know the song is unexpected for Rick and Morty, but see what happened was I fell in love with my filler song. And so it stays.

When you want to go a-wassailing but you're aware that the practice of throwing bread into the trees came from a time before everyone was giving the park birds entire loaves of mouldy white Kingsmill.

Bird bread made from mixed-grain wholemeal flour, bird seed, nuts, mealworms, apple juice and vegetables.
