Cynthia baked a lemon cake from a recipe she found. After it was done she sampled it an pronounced it “inedible.”
In keeping with our “Waste Not, Want Not” policy she decided to offer it up to the birds in the yard…
The birds seemed to agree with Cynthia’s initial assessment and left the cake uneaten and in tact, even after sprinkling it with bird seed to entice them.
For The Birds
I would think you would need to tactfully break it into little pieces before they’d show interest. Now raccoons, that’s another story.
These sparrows are typically very agressive about shredding large pieces of bread. We were hoping to see that happen with the cake.
Besides, the picture of the sparrow eyeballing a bunt cake is far more compelling than a sparrow eyballing a pile of cake bits.
