Feed the birds

Winter is the time of year when birds need our help the most, as their natural food sources become more scarce.
Please help them out by putting some food and water out for them.

Robin

If on a frosty morning
the robin redbreast calls
his waistcoat red and burning
like a beggar at your walls

throw breadcrumbs on the grass for him
when the ground is hard and still
for in his breast there is a flame
that winter cannot kill.
