We have some over ripe pears, apples, strawberrys, bananas and a few other bits from christmas. Can these be put out for the birds? I knoow apples can but was wondering about the pears & bananas.

Thanks. :)

Pears, yes, but banananananas, not so sure. Why not use them to make a Banananana cake?

Heck, do they GW,. well never knew that... Mind you I rarely have bananas in the house. I feed them, apples, pears, nectarines n peaches, but never tried them on grapes either!!! Wonder if they would eat a melon? We got a melon OH doesn't want.

;D ;D ;D ;D

banana custard is good. I cheated with instant custard and popped a couple of bananas in it oh lovely made a nice change.

We have a lovely pear tree in our garden. But we never get to eat the fruit - the birds always beat us to it.

I find that the birds do not like the melon seeds
