Can I give birds (outdoor birds) raspberries and blueberries?
Seriously, I have some that I won't eat and I can't see wasting them. Thanks.

1. What do you think birds eat normally?
LOL. Berries make up a large part of many birds diets. So yeah...:)

6. Thanks...
Yeah, once the birds know where to get something...they congregate...it'll be in an open area!

7. Yes, as far as I know you can.

I would wash them first though. I don't know why. I just would. :shrug:

It's good to hear you are thinking about letting them go to good use instead of trashing them though. :)

8. Blueberries? Sure. But raspberries?
I think that it would be difficult to get your lips on a wild bird, but I wish you the very best of luck.

10. I don't see why not, every year the birds eat all my raspberries
off my plants, not sure about blueberries. Birds love berries.
