UPDATE: What do wild & feral birds eat, aside from fast-food scraps, to survive in small towns & rural areas?

have you forgotten all the birds feeders people have with all kinds of seeds and nuts, corn, suet, bread and food scraps that are thrown out. Birds fly for miles to find food. At my feeders I have seen jays, crows, ravens, starlings, pigeons, and all the normal little birds. There are also many bushes that only produce their seeds in the winter. I have several in my yard as I am sure many people do. People live every where now if on the sides of mountains. They put out feeders.
