No one feeds birds coin of the realm. They can't digest it, and it's a waste of coinage.
You can try to feed birds at a cost of tuppence a bird, but I suspect it costs cinsiderably more than that these days.
In the Disney movie "Mary Poppins", Mary sings the song, "Feed the Birds" about an old woman who sells bag of bread crumbs for tuppence (2 cents) a bag on the steps of St Paull's church. The words are "Feed the birds, Tuppence a bag..."
Feed The Birds (Tuppence a Bag)
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."
Jane Darwell. Her last movie was Mary Poppins (1964), in which she played The Bird Woman ("Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag").
For Mary Poppins, the one song that continues in the background "Feed the Birds". The lyrics: Mary Poppins: 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 call, "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"
She is singing it to the children in the nursery while putting them to bed. She turns a water-filled globe which contains a model of St Paul's cathedral in London, on the steps of which sits the beggar woman selling bird seed.
No, bird houses are only for birds to nest in. You will need to get a bird feeder to feed the birds with.
w/ bird seed
no,birds feed their young with worms and insects.
Birds do not feed their young on milk. The lyrebird is a bird, so it does not feed its young milk.
Depends on how many birds there are to feed and how hungry they are.
Owls feed on mice and small birds.
Wild bird seed is for all birds hence the terms WILD bird feed. All you d is but it out, bird go nuts, so do squirrels.
Mammals feed their young with their own milk. Birds feed their young by throwing up food that it has already eaten, so the young birds can easily swallow it. Woodpeckers do this, so they are not mammals . . . but they are a bird, and birds are directly related to the dinosaurs known as 'Theropods'.
No. It is a bird. Birds differ from mammals in several ways, most notably that they do not nurse their young. Birds feed their young with the same food they eat.
