I feed them in the mornings and they will fly down and call for something to eat. If I don't go out in a timely fashion he often drags the glass dish I feed them in across the grass and bangs it on the path until I take notice. Sometimes he comes up to the front door and picks up a shell we have there to bang that up and down.

This was a new thing. We have a table in the garden and it has a metal candle holder on it with 8 glass 'cups' for tealights. They are quite heavy. One day we came home and one was down where the birds are fed near the garden gate. We thought that it was odd but just put it back where it goes. The next day there were two in the same place. Then this one morning I heard a banging about and was able to film Mr Mac G collecting the glasses from the table. He took three and carefully arranged them. When he brought back a new one he put it down and then moved them all until he found them pleasing. I think that they were a present! JD - Folkestone, Kent
