  They are said to 'fish with bread', by scattering it on the water and waiting for the poor sods to bite.

  Also, I have two Magpies coming and they're using the gravel part of the garden as a food store as they keep burying scraps of food under the pebbles.

  @Sheps did you see the stories about crows being trained to pick up cigarette butts? Can't remember where it was, possibly Sweden. They take them to the "ash tray" and get a treat in return.

  @Crazybeelady putting wildlife to work, maybe a theme for Chelsea next year.
  
  Maybe I could train one to pick off the aphids that are sucking on my Geums.

  It's a shame that doesn't work for people too.
