why didnt you wash the bowl?????

Why didn't you eat the poop?

You need to wash the bowl every time when you refill it (preferably every day), otherwise it is just going to spread illnesses among the birds.

You probably just poisoned some poor bird and you have the gall to blame your victim for it?

I wash the bowl daily with warm/hot water after I throw out the food that was uneaten. I leave the bowl with food out for the whole day, morning to evening. I take it back inside during the night because rats and cockroaches might get attracted.

Today, they ate the food in in the bowl (as usual) because it was almost empty, but somehow bird shit got inside it. Do birds not know to not shit where they eat?

Furthermore, how do I know if the bird got sick?

>>690592
From what I remember they can't really hold it in… and it's not really an issue in nature, where they don't usually come across bowls full of seeds.

>>690605
Is OP actually offended that a bird shit on something? They don't know that you will be offended by that (well probably), even if they did you're punishing all the pigeons for one of them, and you are being cringe overall.

>>690606
>being cringe overall.
Feeding them is pretty based though.

It's funny because this weekend a lot more pigeons showed up, like four, instead of the usual single pigeon that also seems to sleep perched on the upper window sill. Yet today was the day it went wrong.

Perhaps it was the angle of the open door (for airing out the room) that pigeons like to perch on and it being inconveniently angled above the food bowl.


On the attached image, I don't think I have a contraption for tilting a bowl sideways. I guess I'll just lay the bowl away from any perchable spots or open my door at an angle further away from where the bowl will be.


>>690605
Darn…

>>690606
It's unsanitary and gross

>>690607
Thank you.

Yeah that's why birdfeeders are designed so that the birds never have their ass over the food idiot.

>>690611
Oigha, you're saying I'd have to spend even more money?

>>690612
You could make one, look up some DIY birdfeeders online.

Oh no…

Bring the bowl out, OP. I need to shit.

>>690764
Sigh…

Update: I was airing out my room since this morning and I guess the wind blew the door open and close because when I walked in, a pigeon was sitting on top of my raccoon and red panda plushies. It also shit on multiple places, including the clear plastic vitrine where I showcased my realistic Aliexpress-bought animal gacha/gashapon (capsule toys) figures. I threw the plushies and the case away. It also walked on my bed sheets and pillow case that I recently washed so fuck, mang. And still right now there's two pigeons hanging out on my balcony.

Also the small glass food bowl was empty except for one grain/seed, but I accidentally dropped and shattered it while trying to rinse it with warm/hot water, so now I have no bowl… (Unless I find something in my closet that I hoarded…) Why did I drop it? Well, I worked all day, so maybe I was still tired. Yeah…

At least now you don't have to clean the bowl

>>690838
What can I do with this bird food that's still left over?

>>690840
Eat it?

>>690841
Nah, I'm good.

I guess the bird feeding saga will continue for now.

>>690836
why do you just throw everything away instead of just washing it? do you think bird poop is just indestructible

>>690884
I am germaphobic. I did spray it with all-purpose cleaner and wipe it down but I was too scared that it wasn't enough. Furthermore I read bird poop can contain bacteria and fungi.

>>690886
What do the Germans have to do with this?

>>691097
Germans love scat

>>690836

Buy a shovel, go outside and dig a trench. You will not be a germaphobe then.

This is so real, but feeding pigeons was a bad idea in the first place, seriously. They're already abundant, will regularly flock to previous feeding places and leave a lot of shit. Get something like picrel, which is made for smaller birds, instead.

>>691124
The origin story of me feeding pigeons is because I gave one balcony pigeon a small piece of bread, but then I read online that they feel full even though it's empty calories for them, so I felt guilty and traveled all the way to a pet store for real bird food.

As for smaller birds, I don't own the place I'm living at and they put anti-bird nets on the balcony but somehow pigeons got through. They're the only ones that visit the balcony, so so I don't know if those smaller birds would even come.



Blog: Today I was airing out my room and pigeons walked inside twice. Haha, what whimsical creatures. I gave them food so they should be good. But the food bag is running out. Might get a new one, I don't know though. Also I got two new glass bowls from this cheese cake desert from the supermarket.

>>691708
There's a net around your balcony, like you are some kind of animal?

>>691718
Yes, there's a net on my balcony, same for my neighbors. It was to prevent the birds from coming, but they move underneath it or over it (at the bottom or ceiling where the net is loose).

>>691722
Dayum, people really ruin their balconies just to spite birds.

By the way, do birds even see glass bowls? Don't they have trouble with glass?

>>691774
They've been eating out of the small glass bowls since I started feeding them, so it seems to work.

Blog: Today the bowl was empty but two or three pigeons stayed waiting at my balcony but I was busy all afternoon and my food bag ran out, so that probably damaged some trust (again). Balcony is empty right now, so they probably getting their food elsewhere, but at least one will return to sleep perched up in my upper window sill. Good news is that I bought some new food, a different bag from a different store, supposedly for feeding wild birds, so we'll see (tomorrow).

Did you name the pigeons yet?
